Colombia vs Pakistan: Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste
Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste over time
- Colombia
- Pakistan
How they compare
Pakistan currently reports 24.59 Mt CO2e against 22.38 Mt CO2e in Colombia, a difference of 2.21 Mt CO2e.
That makes Pakistan's figure about 1.1 times Colombia's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Pakistan ahead.
Colombia ranks 15th and Pakistan ranks 13th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Colombia averaged higher in 5 and Pakistan in 1.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Colombia | Pakistan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 5.95 Mt CO2e | 5.82 Mt CO2e | 0.1301 Mt CO2e | Colombia |
| 1980s | 8.63 Mt CO2e | 7.36 Mt CO2e | 1.28 Mt CO2e | Colombia |
| 1990s | 11.52 Mt CO2e | 9.43 Mt CO2e | 2.09 Mt CO2e | Colombia |
| 2000s | 14.45 Mt CO2e | 12.77 Mt CO2e | 1.68 Mt CO2e | Colombia |
| 2010s | 18.25 Mt CO2e | 17.47 Mt CO2e | 0.7792 Mt CO2e | Colombia |
| 2020s | 21.59 Mt CO2e | 23.15 Mt CO2e | 1.56 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
