Analysis
Somalia recorded 88.4 kt for waste — emissions in 2023. That is the highest value across all 63 years on record.
The figure is up 2.9% on the previous year and up 33.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, waste — emissions in Somalia peaked at 88.4 kt in 2023 and was at its lowest, 11.7 kt, in 1961.
That places Somalia 101st out of 232 countries with data for 2023, putting it in the middle of the range.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
