Afghanistan vs Uganda: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste over time
- Afghanistan
- Uganda
How they compare
Uganda currently reports 0.4684 Mt CO2e against 0.4236 Mt CO2e in Afghanistan, a difference of 0.0448 Mt CO2e.
That makes Uganda's figure about 1.1 times Afghanistan's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Uganda ahead.
Afghanistan ranks 47th and Uganda ranks 45th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Afghanistan averaged higher in 1 and Uganda in 5.

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).
