- French Polynesia
- Solomon Islands
How they compare
Solomon Islands currently reports 0.0069 Mt CO2e against 0.0057 Mt CO2e in French Polynesia, a difference of 0.0012 Mt CO2e.
That makes Solomon Islands's figure about 1.2 times French Polynesia's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was French Polynesia ahead.
French Polynesia ranks 170th and Solomon Islands ranks 169th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, French Polynesia averaged higher in 4 and Solomon Islands in 2.

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).
