- Nicaragua
- Sri Lanka
How they compare
Sri Lanka currently reports 11.12 Mt CO2e against 10.54 Mt CO2e in Nicaragua, a difference of 0.58 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sri Lanka's figure about 1.1 times Nicaragua's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Sri Lanka ahead.
Nicaragua ranks 99th and Sri Lanka ranks 96th of 203 countries.
Sri Lanka 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).
