- Maldives
- Timor-Leste
How they compare
Maldives currently reports 2.09 Mt CO2e against 1.94 Mt CO2e in Timor-Leste, a difference of 0.15 Mt CO2e.
That makes Maldives's figure about 1.1 times Timor-Leste's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Timor-Leste ahead.
Maldives ranks 164th and Timor-Leste ranks 165th of 203 countries.
Timor-Leste 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).
