- Cuba
- Portugal
How they compare
Portugal currently reports 5.1 Mt CO2e against 4.84 Mt CO2e in Cuba, a difference of 0.26 Mt CO2e.
That makes Portugal's figure about 1.1 times Cuba's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Portugal ahead.
Cuba ranks 54th and Portugal ranks 51st of 203 countries.
Portugal 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).
