Analysis
Greece recorded 0.002 Mt CO2e for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from waste in 2024.
That represents a change of down 4.8% on the previous year and down 37.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from waste in Greece peaked at 0.0088 Mt CO2e in 2009 and was at its lowest, 0.0001 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
Greece ranks 57th 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).
