Analysis
Nauru recorded 0.0002 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from agriculture in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
The figure is unchanged over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from agriculture in Nauru peaked at 0.0002 Mt CO2e in 1983 and was at its lowest, 0.0001 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Nauru 197th 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).
