- Gabon
- Zimbabwe
How they compare
Gabon currently reports 14.9 Mt CO2e against 12.79 Mt CO2e in Zimbabwe, a difference of 2.11 Mt CO2e.
That makes Gabon's figure about 1.2 times Zimbabwe's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Zimbabwe ahead.
Gabon ranks 84th and Zimbabwe ranks 87th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Gabon averaged higher in 4 and Zimbabwe 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).
