How they compare

Greenland currently reports 0.0011 Mt CO2e against 0.001 Mt CO2e in Denmark, a difference of 0.0001 Mt CO2e.

That makes Greenland's figure about 1.1 times Denmark's.

The two have swapped places 1 time across 54 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Denmark ahead.

Globally, Denmark ranks 66th and Greenland ranks 64th of 100 countries.

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).
