- Egypt
- Türkiye
How they compare
Egypt currently reports 1.9 Mt CO2e against 1.73 Mt CO2e in Türkiye, a difference of 0.17 Mt CO2e.
That makes Egypt's figure about 1.1 times Türkiye's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Türkiye ahead.
Egypt ranks 14th and Türkiye ranks 16th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Egypt averaged higher in 3 and Türkiye in 3.

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).
