- Kuwait
- Singapore
How they compare
Singapore currently reports 0.0924 Mt CO2e against 0.0875 Mt CO2e in Kuwait, a difference of 0.0049 Mt CO2e.
That makes Singapore's figure about 1.1 times Kuwait's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Singapore ahead.
Kuwait ranks 116th and Singapore ranks 113th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Kuwait averaged higher in 1 and Singapore 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).
