- Colombia
- Ethiopia
How they compare
Ethiopia currently reports 131.63 Mt CO2e against 94.67 Mt CO2e in Colombia, a difference of 36.96 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ethiopia's figure about 1.4 times Colombia's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Colombia ahead.
Colombia ranks 18th and Ethiopia ranks 15th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Colombia averaged higher in 4 and Ethiopia in 2.

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).
