- Greece
- Portugal
How they compare
Portugal currently reports 0.1544 Mt CO2e against 0.1407 Mt CO2e in Greece, a difference of 0.0137 Mt CO2e.
That makes Portugal's figure about 1.1 times Greece's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Greece ahead.
Greece ranks 61st and Portugal ranks 59th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Greece averaged higher in 4 and Portugal in 2.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
