- Namibia
- Nicaragua
How they compare
Namibia currently reports 0.0121 Mt CO2e against 0.0112 Mt CO2e in Nicaragua, a difference of 0.0009 Mt CO2e.
That makes Namibia's figure about 1.1 times Nicaragua's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nicaragua ahead.
Namibia ranks 113th and Nicaragua ranks 116th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Namibia averaged higher in 4 and Nicaragua in 2.

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).
