- Israel
- Japan
How they compare
Israel currently reports 7.05 Mt CO2e against 5.74 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 1.31 Mt CO2e.
That makes Israel's figure about 1.2 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Israel ranks 44th and Japan ranks 47th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Israel averaged higher in 1 and Japan in 5.

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).
