Mexico vs Pakistan: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste over time
- Mexico
- Pakistan
How they compare
Pakistan currently reports 2.62 Mt CO2e against 2.41 Mt CO2e in Mexico, a difference of 0.21 Mt CO2e.
That makes Pakistan's figure about 1.1 times Mexico's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Mexico ahead.
Mexico ranks 9th and Pakistan ranks 7th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Mexico averaged higher in 4 and Pakistan in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Mexico | Pakistan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.705 Mt CO2e | 0.6442 Mt CO2e | 0.0608 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 1980s | 1.05 Mt CO2e | 0.8491 Mt CO2e | 0.1972 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 1990s | 1.27 Mt CO2e | 1.23 Mt CO2e | 0.0407 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 2000s | 1.59 Mt CO2e | 1.55 Mt CO2e | 0.0436 Mt CO2e | Mexico |
| 2010s | 2 Mt CO2e | 2.11 Mt CO2e | 0.1156 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
| 2020s | 2.32 Mt CO2e | 2.53 Mt CO2e | 0.2146 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
