Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste over time
- Iraq
- Kenya
How they compare
Iraq currently reports 0.5521 Mt CO2e against 0.5218 Mt CO2e in Kenya, a difference of 0.0303 Mt CO2e.
That makes Iraq's figure about 1.1 times Kenya's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Kenya ahead.
Iraq ranks 40th and Kenya ranks 43rd of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Iraq averaged higher in 1 and Kenya 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).
