- Bhutan
- French Polynesia
How they compare
French Polynesia currently reports 3.84 t CO2e/capita against 3.55 t CO2e/capita in Bhutan, a difference of 0.29 t CO2e/capita.
That makes French Polynesia's figure about 1.1 times Bhutan's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Bhutan ahead.
Bhutan ranks 111th and French Polynesia ranks 108th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Bhutan averaged higher in 1 and French Polynesia in 5.

About this data
Total 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 divided by the economy's population. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), as these fluxes have larger uncertainties.
