How they compare

Least developed countries currently reports 1.08 Mt CO2e against 0.2154 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 0.8646 Mt CO2e.

That makes Least developed countries's figure about 5.0 times Canada's.

The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Canada ahead.

Canada ranks 35th and Least developed countries ranks 33rd of 194 countries.

Across the 6 decades both report, Canada averaged higher in 4 and Least developed countries in 2.

A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
