- Malta
- Samoa
How they compare
Samoa currently reports 0.0261 Mt CO2e against 0.0156 Mt CO2e in Malta, a difference of 0.0105 Mt CO2e.
That makes Samoa's figure about 1.7 times Malta's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Samoa ahead.
Malta ranks 169th and Samoa ranks 166th of 201 countries.
Samoa 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).
