- Libya
- Rwanda
How they compare
Rwanda currently reports 0.1325 Mt CO2e against 0.1177 Mt CO2e in Libya, a difference of 0.0148 Mt CO2e.
That makes Rwanda's figure about 1.1 times Libya's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Rwanda ahead.
Libya ranks 102nd and Rwanda ranks 99th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Libya averaged higher in 2 and Rwanda 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).
