Cayman Islands vs Greenland: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Agriculture
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Agriculture over time
- Cayman Islands
- Greenland
How they compare
Cayman Islands currently reports 0.0013 Mt CO2e against 0.0012 Mt CO2e in Greenland, a difference of 0.0001 Mt CO2e.
That makes Cayman Islands's figure about 1.1 times Greenland's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Greenland ahead.
Cayman Islands ranks 191st and Greenland ranks 193rd of 201 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Cayman Islands averaged higher in 3 and Greenland in 3.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.2 Liming, 3.C.3 Urea application, 3.C.4 Direct N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.5 Indirect N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.6 Indirect N2O Emissions from manure management, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
