Cambodia vs Zimbabwe: Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste
Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste over time
- Cambodia
- Zimbabwe
How they compare
Zimbabwe currently reports 1.6 Mt CO2e against 1.52 Mt CO2e in Cambodia, a difference of 0.08 Mt CO2e.
That makes Zimbabwe's figure about 1.1 times Cambodia's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Cambodia ahead.
Cambodia ranks 104th and Zimbabwe ranks 103rd of 203 countries.
Zimbabwe has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
