- Estonia
- Latvia
How they compare
Latvia currently reports 2.07 Mt CO2e against 1.63 Mt CO2e in Estonia, a difference of 0.44 Mt CO2e.
That makes Latvia's figure about 1.3 times Estonia's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Latvia ahead.
Estonia ranks 148th and Latvia ranks 145th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Estonia averaged higher in 2 and Latvia in 4.

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).
