- IBRD only
- United States
How they compare
IBRD only currently reports 85.8 Mt CO2e against 9.94 Mt CO2e in United States, a difference of 75.86 Mt CO2e.
That makes IBRD only's figure about 8.6 times United States's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, IBRD only has been ahead every year.
IBRD only ranks 5th and United States ranks 3rd of 47 groups.
IBRD only has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
