- North Korea
- Rwanda
How they compare
North Korea currently reports 0.9699 Mt CO2e against 0.8429 Mt CO2e in Rwanda, a difference of 0.127 Mt CO2e.
That makes North Korea's figure about 1.2 times Rwanda's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was North Korea ahead.
North Korea ranks 118th and Rwanda ranks 119th of 201 countries.
North Korea 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).
