Brazil vs IBRD only: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste over time
- Brazil
- IBRD only
How they compare
IBRD only currently reports 85.8 Mt CO2e against 3.82 Mt CO2e in Brazil, a difference of 81.98 Mt CO2e.
That makes IBRD only's figure about 22.5 times Brazil's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, IBRD only has been ahead every year.
Brazil ranks 4th and IBRD only ranks 5th of 203 countries.
IBRD only has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 1.08 Mt CO2e | 26.22 Mt CO2e | 25.14 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 1980s | 1.43 Mt CO2e | 34.92 Mt CO2e | 33.49 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 1990s | 2.04 Mt CO2e | 45.2 Mt CO2e | 43.16 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2000s | 2.65 Mt CO2e | 54.77 Mt CO2e | 52.11 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2010s | 3.53 Mt CO2e | 71.9 Mt CO2e | 68.37 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
| 2020s | 3.75 Mt CO2e | 83.01 Mt CO2e | 79.25 Mt CO2e | IBRD only |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
