Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Zimbabwe is -4.4%, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 15.6% on the previous year and up 75.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Zimbabwe peaked at 2.2% in 1999 and was at its lowest, -25.3%, in 1993.
That places Zimbabwe 157th 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
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.
