Kenya vs Low income: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste over time
- Kenya
- Low income
How they compare
Low income currently reports 7.05 Mt CO2e against 0.5218 Mt CO2e in Kenya, a difference of 6.53 Mt CO2e.
That makes Low income's figure about 13.5 times Kenya's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Low income has been ahead every year.
Kenya ranks 43rd and Low income ranks 39th of 203 countries.
Low income 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).
