- Libya
- Papua New Guinea
How they compare
Papua New Guinea currently reports 1.55 Mt CO2e against 1.47 Mt CO2e in Libya, a difference of 0.08 Mt CO2e.
That makes Papua New Guinea's figure about 1.1 times Libya's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Papua New Guinea ahead.
Libya ranks 117th and Papua New Guinea ranks 116th of 203 countries.
Papua New Guinea 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).
