- Kenya
- Least developed countries
How they compare
Least developed countries currently reports 976.24 Mt CO2e against 64.93 Mt CO2e in Kenya, a difference of 911.31 Mt CO2e.
That makes Least developed countries's figure about 15.0 times Kenya's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Least developed countries has been ahead every year.
Kenya ranks 28th and Least developed countries ranks 28th of 203 countries.
Least developed countries has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
