- Cambodia
- Ireland
How they compare
Ireland currently reports 0.0145 Mt CO2e against 0.0133 Mt CO2e in Cambodia, a difference of 0.0012 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ireland's figure about 1.1 times Cambodia's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Ireland ahead.
Cambodia ranks 33rd and Ireland ranks 32nd of 100 countries.
Ireland has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
