- Guyana
- Sub-Saharan Africa
How they compare
Guyana currently reports 253.2% against 93.7% in Sub-Saharan Africa, a difference of 159.5%.
That makes Guyana's figure about 2.7 times Sub-Saharan Africa's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 34 shared years of data; in 1991 it was Guyana ahead.
Guyana ranks 26th and Sub-Saharan Africa ranks 25th of 203 countries.
Across the 4 decades both report, Guyana averaged higher in 3 and Sub-Saharan Africa in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Guyana | Sub-Saharan Africa | Difference | Ahead |

About this data
Change of emissions (as %) of current year with respect to emissions in baseline year 1990 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 Change Land Use 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) to combine different GHGs. Negative values indicate that the emission level for that year is lower than the emissions level in 1990.
