Analysis
Philippines recorded 1.52 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from waste in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.3% on the previous year and up 30.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from waste in Philippines peaked at 1.52 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.2593 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

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).
