Cape Verde vs Greenland: Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste
Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste over time
- Cape Verde
- Greenland
How they compare
Cape Verde currently reports 0.0693 Mt CO2e against 0.052 Mt CO2e in Greenland, a difference of 0.0173 Mt CO2e.
That makes Cape Verde's figure about 1.3 times Greenland's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Greenland ahead.
Cape Verde ranks 172nd and Greenland ranks 174th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Cape Verde averaged higher in 2 and Greenland in 4.

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).
