Georgia vs Nepal: Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste
Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste over time
- Georgia
- Nepal
How they compare
Nepal currently reports 2.05 Mt CO2e against 1.94 Mt CO2e in Georgia, a difference of 0.11 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nepal's figure about 1.1 times Georgia's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Nepal ahead.
Georgia ranks 97th and Nepal ranks 94th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Georgia averaged higher in 2 and Nepal 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).
