How they compare

World currently reports 111.42 Mt CO2e against 7.48 Mt CO2e in India, a difference of 103.94 Mt CO2e.

That makes World's figure about 14.9 times India's.

Across all 55 years both countries report, World has been ahead every year.

India ranks 3rd and World ranks 1st of 194 countries.

World has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

Head to head by decade

Decade India World Difference Ahead
1970s 1.04 Mt CO2e 39.95 Mt CO2e 38.91 Mt CO2e World
1980s 1.57 Mt CO2e 47.85 Mt CO2e 46.28 Mt CO2e World
1990s 2.46 Mt CO2e 66.27 Mt CO2e 63.81 Mt CO2e World
2000s 3.14 Mt CO2e 85.29 Mt CO2e 82.15 Mt CO2e World
2010s 6.02 Mt CO2e 100.97 Mt CO2e 94.95 Mt CO2e World
2020s 6.72 Mt CO2e 105.53 Mt CO2e 98.81 Mt CO2e World

Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
