Analysis
Namibia recorded 65.7% for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.9% on the previous year and up 85.8% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Namibia peaked at 69.3% in 2012 and was at its lowest, -7.1%, in 1995.
Namibia ranks 85th of 203 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

About this data
Change of emissions (as %) of current year with respect to emissions in baseline year 1990 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). Negative values indicate that the emission level for that year is lower than the emissions level in 1990.
