- Cape Verde
- Greenland
How they compare
Cape Verde currently reports 0.9126 Mt CO2e against 0.6593 Mt CO2e in Greenland, a difference of 0.2533 Mt CO2e.
That makes Cape Verde's figure about 1.4 times Greenland's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Cape Verde ahead.
Cape Verde ranks 174th and Greenland ranks 176th of 203 countries.
Cape Verde 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).
