Analysis

The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Vanuatu is 0.0017 Mt CO2e, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 6.2% on the previous year and up 88.9% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Vanuatu peaked at 0.0017 Mt CO2e in 2021 and was at its lowest, 0.0003 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Vanuatu 179th 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.
