Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from waste in Chile stood at 0.0088 Mt CO2e. 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 23.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from waste in Chile peaked at 0.0088 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0024 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Chile 40th out of 100 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

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).
