- Euro area
- Turkmenistan
How they compare
Turkmenistan currently reports 15.32 t CO2e/capita against 6.89 t CO2e/capita in Euro area, a difference of 8.43 t CO2e/capita.
That makes Turkmenistan's figure about 2.2 times Euro area's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Turkmenistan ahead.
Euro area ranks 16th and Turkmenistan ranks 18th of 47 groups.
Turkmenistan 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.
