Greenland vs Solomon Islands: Total greenhouse gas emissions excluding LULUCF
Total greenhouse gas emissions excluding LULUCF over time
- Greenland
- Solomon Islands
How they compare
Greenland currently reports 0.6593 Mt CO2e against 0.6198 Mt CO2e in Solomon Islands, a difference of 0.0395 Mt CO2e.
That makes Greenland's figure about 1.1 times Solomon Islands's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Solomon Islands ahead.
Greenland ranks 176th and Solomon Islands ranks 179th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Greenland averaged higher in 2 and Solomon Islands 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).
