Canada vs Least developed countries: UN classification: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste over time
- Canada
- Least developed countries: UN classification
How they compare
Least developed countries: UN classification currently reports 12.32 Mt CO2e against 1.35 Mt CO2e in Canada, a difference of 10.97 Mt CO2e.
That makes Least developed countries: UN classification's figure about 9.2 times Canada's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Least developed countries: UN classification has been ahead every year.
Canada ranks 23rd and Least developed countries: UN classification ranks 24th of 203 countries.
Least developed countries: UN classification 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).
