- Iran
- Türkiye
How they compare
Türkiye currently reports 31.97 Mt CO2e against 30.02 Mt CO2e in Iran, a difference of 1.95 Mt CO2e.
That makes Türkiye's figure about 1.1 times Iran's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Türkiye ahead.
Iran ranks 16th and Türkiye ranks 13th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Iran averaged higher in 1 and Türkiye in 5.

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).
