Greenland vs Zimbabwe: Methane (CH4) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF
Methane (CH4) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Greenland
- Zimbabwe
How they compare
Zimbabwe currently reports 3.1% against 1.2% in Greenland, a difference of 1.9%.
That makes Zimbabwe's figure about 2.6 times Greenland's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 34 shared years of data; in 1991 it was Greenland ahead.
Greenland ranks 146th and Zimbabwe ranks 145th of 203 countries.
Greenland has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Greenland | Zimbabwe | Difference | Ahead |

About this data
Change of emissions (as %) of current year with respect to emissions in baseline year 1990 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). Negative values indicate that the emission level for that year is lower than the emissions level in 1990.
