Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF in Maldives, 1970–2024
Source: EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) Community GHG Database, Joint Research Centre (JRC) - European Commission. Measured in Mt CO2e.
Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Maldives stood at 0.0409 Mt CO2e.
That represents a change of up 3.8% on the previous year and down 18.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Maldives peaked at 0.0503 Mt CO2e in 2014 and was at its lowest, 0.002 Mt CO2e, in 1971.
That places Maldives 171st out of 203 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.

About this data
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).
