- Denmark
- Finland
How they compare
Denmark currently reports 0.2017 Mt CO2e against 0.1914 Mt CO2e in Finland, a difference of 0.0103 Mt CO2e.
That makes Denmark's figure about 1.1 times Finland's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Finland ahead.
Denmark ranks 78th and Finland ranks 81st of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Denmark averaged higher in 5 and Finland in 1.

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).
