- Jordan
- Libya
How they compare
Jordan currently reports 0.1269 Mt CO2e against 0.1177 Mt CO2e in Libya, a difference of 0.0092 Mt CO2e.
That makes Jordan's figure about 1.1 times Libya's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Jordan ahead.
Jordan ranks 100th and Libya ranks 102nd of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Jordan averaged higher in 2 and Libya in 4.

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).
