- Burundi
- Sri Lanka
How they compare
Sri Lanka currently reports 1.32 Mt CO2e against 1.19 Mt CO2e in Burundi, a difference of 0.13 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sri Lanka's figure about 1.1 times Burundi's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Sri Lanka ahead.
Burundi ranks 113th and Sri Lanka ranks 110th of 201 countries.
Sri Lanka has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
