Ethiopia vs Kenya: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Waste
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Waste over time
- Ethiopia
- Kenya
How they compare
Ethiopia currently reports 0.0017 Mt CO2e against 0.0016 Mt CO2e in Kenya, a difference of 0.0001 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ethiopia's figure about 1.1 times Kenya's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Ethiopia ahead.
Ethiopia ranks 60th and Kenya ranks 61st of 100 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Ethiopia averaged higher in 3 and Kenya in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Ethiopia | Kenya | Difference | Ahead |

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).
