- Korea
- Post-demographic dividend
How they compare
Post-demographic dividend currently reports 7.49 Mt CO2e against 1.62 Mt CO2e in Korea, a difference of 5.87 Mt CO2e.
That makes Post-demographic dividend's figure about 4.6 times Korea's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Post-demographic dividend has been ahead every year.
Korea ranks 4th and Post-demographic dividend ranks 5th of 100 countries.
Post-demographic dividend 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).
