How they compare

Brazil currently reports 107.92 Mt CO2e against 89.18 Mt CO2e in Russia, a difference of 18.75 Mt CO2e.

That makes Brazil's figure about 1.2 times Russia's.

The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Russia ahead.

A measure of annual emissions of methane (CH4), 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).
