- Liberia
- Sierra Leone
How they compare
Liberia currently reports 0.0013 Mt CO2e against 0.0011 Mt CO2e in Sierra Leone, a difference of 0.0002 Mt CO2e.
That makes Liberia's figure about 1.2 times Sierra Leone's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Sierra Leone ahead.
Liberia ranks 146th and Sierra Leone ranks 147th of 193 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Liberia averaged higher in 2 and Sierra Leone in 4.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial combustion (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.2 Manufacturing Industries and Construction. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
