- Ethiopia
- Least developed countries
How they compare
Least developed countries currently reports 1,728 Mt CO2e against 192.7 Mt CO2e in Ethiopia, a difference of 1,535 Mt CO2e.
That makes Least developed countries's figure about 9.0 times Ethiopia's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Least developed countries has been ahead every year.
Ethiopia ranks 38th and Least developed countries ranks 34th of 203 countries.
Least developed countries 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).
