- Bolivia
- Nepal
How they compare
Bolivia currently reports 2.17 Mt CO2e against 2.05 Mt CO2e in Nepal, a difference of 0.12 Mt CO2e.
That makes Bolivia's figure about 1.1 times Nepal's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nepal ahead.
Bolivia ranks 91st and Nepal ranks 94th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Bolivia averaged higher in 1 and Nepal in 5.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), 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).
