- Bangladesh
- Sub-Saharan Africa
How they compare
Sub-Saharan Africa currently reports 305.43 Mt CO2e against 23.28 Mt CO2e in Bangladesh, a difference of 282.15 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sub-Saharan Africa's figure about 13.1 times Bangladesh's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Sub-Saharan Africa has been ahead every year.
Bangladesh ranks 22nd and Sub-Saharan Africa ranks 23rd of 203 countries.
Sub-Saharan Africa 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 the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF.. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
