- Brazil
- Poland
How they compare
Brazil currently reports 0.305 Mt CO2e against 0.1849 Mt CO2e in Poland, a difference of 0.1201 Mt CO2e.
That makes Brazil's figure about 1.6 times Poland's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Poland ahead.
Brazil ranks 7th and Poland ranks 9th of 100 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Brazil averaged higher in 3 and Poland in 3.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the waste sector. This includes emissions from solid waste (IPCC 2006 codes 4.A Solid Waste Disposal, 4.B Biological Treatment of Solid Waste, 4.C Incineration and Open Burning of Waste) and wastewater treatment (IPCC 2006 code 4.D Wastewater Treatment and Discharge). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
