- Bhutan
- Suriname
How they compare
Suriname currently reports 0.0694 Mt CO2e against 0.0593 Mt CO2e in Bhutan, a difference of 0.0101 Mt CO2e.
That makes Suriname's figure about 1.2 times Bhutan's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Bhutan ahead.
Bhutan ranks 160th and Suriname ranks 158th of 201 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Bhutan averaged higher in 2 and Suriname in 4.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.2 Liming, 3.C.3 Urea application, 3.C.4 Direct N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.5 Indirect N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.6 Indirect N2O Emissions from manure management, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
