Italy vs Vietnam: Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste
Methane (CH4) emissions from Waste over time
- Italy
- Vietnam
How they compare
Vietnam currently reports 17.28 Mt CO2e against 15.57 Mt CO2e in Italy, a difference of 1.71 Mt CO2e.
That makes Vietnam's figure about 1.1 times Italy's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Italy ahead.
Italy ranks 25th and Vietnam ranks 22nd of 203 countries.
Italy 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).
