- Libya
- South Asia
How they compare
South Asia currently reports 2.65 Mt CO2e against 0.2146 Mt CO2e in Libya, a difference of 2.44 Mt CO2e.
That makes South Asia's figure about 12.4 times Libya's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, South Asia has been ahead every year.
Libya ranks 24th and South Asia ranks 23rd of 194 countries.
South Asia 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 the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
