- Colombia
- Turkey
How they compare
Colombia currently reports 22.38 Mt CO2e against 20.79 Mt CO2e in Turkey, a difference of 1.59 Mt CO2e.
That makes Colombia's figure about 1.1 times Turkey's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Turkey ahead.
Colombia ranks 15th and Turkey ranks 18th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Colombia averaged higher in 5 and Turkey in 1.

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).
