- Mali
- Niger
How they compare
Mali currently reports 9.81 Mt CO2e against 9.33 Mt CO2e in Niger, a difference of 0.48 Mt CO2e.
That makes Mali's figure about 1.1 times Niger's.
The two have swapped places 10 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Mali ahead.
Mali ranks 35th and Niger ranks 38th of 201 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Mali averaged higher in 4 and Niger in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Mali | Niger | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 2.23 Mt CO2e | 2.29 Mt CO2e | 0.0533 Mt CO2e | Niger |
| 1980s | 2.59 Mt CO2e | 2.34 Mt CO2e | 0.2506 Mt CO2e | Mali |
| 1990s | 2.87 Mt CO2e | 2.77 Mt CO2e | 0.104 Mt CO2e | Mali |
| 2000s | 4.27 Mt CO2e | 4.44 Mt CO2e | 0.1684 Mt CO2e | Niger |
| 2010s | 6.93 Mt CO2e | 6.63 Mt CO2e | 0.2959 Mt CO2e | Mali |
| 2020s | 9.16 Mt CO2e | 9.08 Mt CO2e | 0.0738 Mt CO2e | Mali |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
