- Chile
- Ecuador
How they compare
Chile currently reports 23.3 Mt CO2e against 21.67 Mt CO2e in Ecuador, a difference of 1.63 Mt CO2e.
That makes Chile's figure about 1.1 times Ecuador's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Chile ahead.
Chile ranks 65th and Ecuador ranks 68th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Chile averaged higher in 5 and Ecuador in 1.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
