Analysis

In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Lesotho stood at 0.0086 Mt CO2e. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

The figure is up 1.2% on the previous year and up 120.5% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Lesotho peaked at 0.0086 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.0001 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Lesotho 152nd out of 194 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
