- Kuwait
- Sudan
How they compare
Kuwait currently reports 11.14 Mt CO2e against 9.96 Mt CO2e in Sudan, a difference of 1.18 Mt CO2e.
That makes Kuwait's figure about 1.1 times Sudan's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Sudan ahead.
Kuwait ranks 34th and Sudan ranks 36th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Kuwait averaged higher in 4 and Sudan in 2.

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).
