- Zambia
- Zimbabwe
How they compare
Zambia currently reports 0.0026 Mt CO2e against 0.0022 Mt CO2e in Zimbabwe, a difference of 0.0004 Mt CO2e.
That makes Zambia's figure about 1.2 times Zimbabwe's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Zimbabwe ahead.
Zambia ranks 114th and Zimbabwe ranks 117th of 195 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Zambia averaged higher in 1 and Zimbabwe in 5.

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