How they compare

Sudan currently reports 26.29 Mt CO2e against 23.1 Mt CO2e in France, a difference of 3.19 Mt CO2e.

That makes Sudan's figure about 1.1 times France's.

The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was France ahead.

France ranks 15th and Sudan ranks 14th of 202 countries.

Across the 6 decades both report, France averaged higher in 5 and Sudan in 1.

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).
