Total greenhouse gas emissions excluding LULUCF over time
- French Polynesia
- Seychelles
How they compare
French Polynesia currently reports 1.08 Mt CO2e against 0.9764 Mt CO2e in Seychelles, a difference of 0.1036 Mt CO2e.
That makes French Polynesia's figure about 1.1 times Seychelles's.
The two have swapped places 10 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was French Polynesia ahead.
French Polynesia ranks 170th and Seychelles ranks 172nd of 203 countries.
French Polynesia 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).
