Small states vs Uganda: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Waste over time
- Small states
- Uganda
How they compare
Uganda currently reports 0.4684 Mt CO2e against 0.3115 Mt CO2e in Small states, a difference of 0.1569 Mt CO2e.
That makes Uganda's figure about 1.5 times Small states's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Small states ahead.
Small states ranks 44th and Uganda ranks 45th of 47 groups.
Across the 6 decades both report, Small states averaged higher in 3 and Uganda in 3.

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).
