- Mauritania
- Niger
How they compare
Mauritania currently reports 0.0019 Mt CO2e against 0.0017 Mt CO2e in Niger, a difference of 0.0002 Mt CO2e.
That makes Mauritania's figure about 1.1 times Niger's.
The two have swapped places 9 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Niger ahead.
Mauritania ranks 137th and Niger ranks 140th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Mauritania averaged higher in 3 and Niger in 3.

About this data
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).
