- Morocco
- Tunisia
How they compare
Tunisia currently reports 0.4875 Mt CO2e against 0.4526 Mt CO2e in Morocco, a difference of 0.0349 Mt CO2e.
That makes Tunisia's figure about 1.1 times Morocco's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Tunisia ahead.
Morocco ranks 76th and Tunisia ranks 73rd of 203 countries.
Tunisia 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 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).
