- Azerbaijan
- Zimbabwe
How they compare
Zimbabwe currently reports 0.1861 Mt CO2e against 0.1762 Mt CO2e in Azerbaijan, a difference of 0.0099 Mt CO2e.
That makes Zimbabwe's figure about 1.1 times Azerbaijan's.
The two have swapped places 9 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Azerbaijan ahead.
Azerbaijan ranks 86th and Zimbabwe ranks 83rd of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Azerbaijan averaged higher in 2 and Zimbabwe in 4.

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).
