North Korea vs Pre-demographic dividend: Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Waste
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Waste over time
- North Korea
- Pre-demographic dividend
How they compare
Pre-demographic dividend currently reports 0.0139 Mt CO2e against 0.0113 Mt CO2e in North Korea, a difference of 0.0026 Mt CO2e.
That makes Pre-demographic dividend's figure about 1.2 times North Korea's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was North Korea ahead.
North Korea ranks 36th and Pre-demographic dividend ranks 32nd of 100 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, North Korea averaged higher in 5 and Pre-demographic dividend in 1.

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).
