Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste over time
- Congo
- Panama
How they compare
Panama currently reports 0.0738 Mt CO2e against 0.0592 Mt CO2e in Congo, a difference of 0.0146 Mt CO2e.
That makes Panama's figure about 1.2 times Congo's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Panama has been ahead every year.
Congo ranks 131st and Panama ranks 128th of 203 countries.
Panama 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).
