Analysis
Guam recorded 0.0027 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from waste in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 3.8% on the previous year and up 28.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from waste in Guam peaked at 0.0027 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Guam 176th out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.

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).
