Licence: CC BY 4.0 (World Bank Open Data)
Coverage: 250 places, 13,750 data points, 1970–2024
Last refreshed: 06 August 2026

A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF.. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
