Analysis
The most recent figure for carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from waste in Maldives is 0.0039 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is up 2.6% on the previous year and up 30.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from waste in Maldives peaked at 0.0039 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0003 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Maldives 47th out of 100 countries with data for 2024, putting it 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).
