- Iceland
- New Caledonia
How they compare
New Caledonia currently reports 0.025 Mt CO2e against 0.0216 Mt CO2e in Iceland, a difference of 0.0034 Mt CO2e.
That makes New Caledonia's figure about 1.2 times Iceland's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Iceland ahead.
Iceland ranks 159th and New Caledonia ranks 157th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Iceland averaged higher in 4 and New Caledonia in 2.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from industrial processes including IPCC 2006 codes 2.A.1 Cement production, 2.A.2 Lime production, 2.A.3 Glass Production, 2.A.4 Other Process Uses of Carbonates, 2.B Chemical Industry, 2.C Metal Industry, 2.D Non-Energy Products from Fuels and Solvent Use, 2.E Electronics Industry, 2.F Product Uses as Substitutes for Ozone Depleting Substances, 2.G Other Product Manufacture and Use and 5.A Indirect N2O emissions from the atmospheric deposition of nitrogen in NOx and NH3). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
