Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from waste in Austria is 0.0008 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the lowest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of unchanged over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from waste in Austria peaked at 0.0112 Mt CO2e in 1990 and was at its lowest, 0.0008 Mt CO2e, in 2010.
Austria ranks 71st of 100 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
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).
