Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from Waste in IBRD only, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
IBRD only recorded 5.67 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from waste in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.1% on the previous year and up 30.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from waste in IBRD only peaked at 5.67 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.6034 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places IBRD only 7th out of 47 groups with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

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).
