Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from agriculture in American Samoa is 0.001 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is unchanged over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from agriculture in American Samoa peaked at 0.0011 Mt CO2e in 1989 and was at its lowest, 0.0008 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places American Samoa 194th out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.2 Liming, 3.C.3 Urea application, 3.C.4 Direct N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.5 Indirect N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.6 Indirect N2O Emissions from manure management, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
