- Ireland
- Rwanda
How they compare
Ireland currently reports 0.1392 Mt CO2e against 0.1325 Mt CO2e in Rwanda, a difference of 0.0067 Mt CO2e.
That makes Ireland's figure about 1.1 times Rwanda's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Ireland ahead.
Ireland ranks 96th and Rwanda ranks 99th of 203 countries.
Ireland 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).
