Canada vs Euro area: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Waste
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Waste over time
- Canada
- Euro area
How they compare
Euro area currently reports 1.85 Mt CO2e against 0.1026 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 1.75 Mt CO2e.
That makes Euro area's figure about 18.0 times Canada's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Euro area has been ahead every year.
Canada ranks 13th and Euro area ranks 16th of 100 countries.
Euro area 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).
