New Zealand vs Tajikistan: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste over time
- New Zealand
- Tajikistan
How they compare
Tajikistan currently reports 0.1463 Mt CO2e against 0.1381 Mt CO2e in New Zealand, a difference of 0.0082 Mt CO2e.
That makes Tajikistan's figure about 1.1 times New Zealand's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was New Zealand ahead.
New Zealand ranks 97th and Tajikistan ranks 95th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, New Zealand averaged higher in 5 and Tajikistan in 1.

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).
