Analysis
Nicaragua recorded 2.61 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in 2024.
The figure is down 1.1% on the previous year and up 16.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Nicaragua peaked at 2.65 Mt CO2e in 2020 and was at its lowest, 1.17 Mt CO2e, in 1987.
That places Nicaragua 97th out of 203 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
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 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).
