- Bolivia
- Democratic Republic of the Congo
How they compare
Bolivia currently reports 63.76 Mt CO2e against 58.49 Mt CO2e in Democratic Republic of the Congo, a difference of 5.27 Mt CO2e.
That makes Bolivia's figure about 1.1 times Democratic Republic of the Congo's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Bolivia ahead.
Bolivia ranks 68th and Democratic Republic of the Congo ranks 71st of 203 countries.
Bolivia has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
