Total greenhouse gas emissions excluding LULUCF per capita over time
- Senegal
- Zambia
How they compare
Zambia currently reports 1.81 t CO2e/capita against 1.71 t CO2e/capita in Senegal, a difference of 0.1 t CO2e/capita.
That makes Zambia's figure about 1.1 times Senegal's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Zambia ahead.
Senegal ranks 161st and Zambia ranks 158th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Senegal averaged higher in 1 and Zambia 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.
