- Germany
- Türkiye
How they compare
Türkiye currently reports 1.15 Mt CO2e against 1.04 Mt CO2e in Germany, a difference of 0.11 Mt CO2e.
That makes Türkiye's figure about 1.1 times Germany's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Germany ahead.
Germany ranks 17th and Türkiye ranks 14th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Germany averaged higher in 2 and Türkiye in 4.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
