- Malaysia
- Norway
How they compare
Malaysia currently reports 0.0795 Mt CO2e against 0.0601 Mt CO2e in Norway, a difference of 0.0194 Mt CO2e.
That makes Malaysia's figure about 1.3 times Norway's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Malaysia ahead.
Malaysia ranks 14th and Norway ranks 15th of 100 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Malaysia averaged higher in 5 and Norway 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).
