Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from waste in Myanmar is 0.6975 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 3.6% on the previous year and down 14.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from waste in Myanmar peaked at 0.8859 Mt CO2e in 2018 and was at its lowest, 0.1638 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Myanmar 33rd out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
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 nitrous oxide (N2O), 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).
