- Iraq
- Pre-demographic dividend
How they compare
Pre-demographic dividend currently reports 124.52 Mt CO2e against 13.2 Mt CO2e in Iraq, a difference of 111.32 Mt CO2e.
That makes Pre-demographic dividend's figure about 9.4 times Iraq's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Pre-demographic dividend has been ahead every year.
Iraq ranks 30th and Pre-demographic dividend ranks 33rd of 203 countries.
Pre-demographic dividend 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).
