Analysis
Latvia recorded 0 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from waste in 2024. That is the lowest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 100.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from waste in Latvia peaked at 0.0016 Mt CO2e in 2001 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 2019.
Latvia ranks 91st of 100 countries on this measure, in the bottom 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).
