How they compare

Iran currently reports 1.19 Mt CO2e against 1.03 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 0.1618 Mt CO2e.

That makes Iran's figure about 1.2 times Australia's.

The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Iran ahead.

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).
