- Cyprus
- Namibia
How they compare
Namibia currently reports 0.0331 Mt CO2e against 0.0313 Mt CO2e in Cyprus, a difference of 0.0018 Mt CO2e.
That makes Namibia's figure about 1.1 times Cyprus's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Cyprus ahead.
Cyprus ranks 145th and Namibia ranks 143rd of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Cyprus averaged higher in 1 and Namibia 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).
