- Afghanistan
- Zimbabwe
How they compare
Afghanistan currently reports 33.03 Mt CO2e against 30.78 Mt CO2e in Zimbabwe, a difference of 2.25 Mt CO2e.
That makes Afghanistan's figure about 1.1 times Zimbabwe's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Zimbabwe ahead.
Afghanistan ranks 106th and Zimbabwe ranks 109th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Afghanistan averaged higher in 2 and Zimbabwe in 4.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of the six greenhouse gases (GHG) covered by the Kyoto Protocol (carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), and sulphurhexafluoride (SF6)) from the energy, industry, waste, and agriculture sectors, standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
