Total greenhouse gas emissions excluding LULUCF over time
- Iceland
- Lesotho
How they compare
Iceland currently reports 4.28 Mt CO2e against 3.06 Mt CO2e in Lesotho, a difference of 1.23 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iceland's figure about 1.4 times Lesotho's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Iceland has been ahead every year.

About this data
A measure of 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. This measure excludes GHG fluxes caused by Land Use Land Use Change 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).
