Analysis
In 2024, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from waste in Pre-demographic dividend stood at 0.0139 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 4.5% on the previous year and up 58.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, carbon dioxide (co2) emissions from waste in Pre-demographic dividend peaked at 0.0139 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0012 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
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).
