- Ethiopia
- Spain
How they compare
Ethiopia currently reports 1.63 Mt CO2e against 1.54 Mt CO2e in Spain, a difference of 0.09 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ethiopia's figure about 1.1 times Spain's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Spain ahead.
Ethiopia ranks 19th and Spain ranks 20th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Ethiopia averaged higher in 1 and Spain 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).
