- Least developed countries
- United Kingdom
How they compare
Least developed countries currently reports 0.7109 Mt CO2e against 0.078 Mt CO2e in United Kingdom, a difference of 0.6329 Mt CO2e.
That makes Least developed countries's figure about 9.1 times United Kingdom's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was United Kingdom ahead.
Least developed countries ranks 31st and United Kingdom ranks 30th of 45 groups.
Least developed countries has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
