Analysis
Namibia recorded 319.2 kt for waste — emissions (co2eq) from ch4 in 2023. That is the highest value across all 63 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.7% on the previous year and up 34.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, waste — emissions (co2eq) from ch4 in Namibia peaked at 319.2 kt in 2023 and was at its lowest, 40.6 kt, in 1969.
Namibia ranks 161st of 218 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
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.
