Analysis
Belarus recorded 0.0073 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from waste in 2024.
The figure is down 19.8% on the previous year and down 61.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from waste in Belarus peaked at 0.0544 Mt CO2e in 2008 and was at its lowest, 0.0066 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), 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).
