Afghanistan vs Israel: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste over time
- Afghanistan
- Israel
How they compare
Afghanistan currently reports 0.4236 Mt CO2e against 0.3927 Mt CO2e in Israel, a difference of 0.0309 Mt CO2e.
That makes Afghanistan's figure about 1.1 times Israel's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Israel ahead.
Afghanistan ranks 47th and Israel ranks 50th of 203 countries.
Israel has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), 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).
