Denmark vs Greece: Total greenhouse gas emissions excluding LULUCF per capita
Total greenhouse gas emissions excluding LULUCF per capita over time
- Denmark
- Greece
How they compare
Greece currently reports 6.87 t CO2e/capita against 6.4 t CO2e/capita in Denmark, a difference of 0.47 t CO2e/capita.
That makes Greece's figure about 1.1 times Denmark's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Denmark ahead.
Denmark ranks 58th and Greece ranks 56th of 203 countries.
Denmark has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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.
