- Italy
- Niger
How they compare
Niger currently reports 9.33 Mt CO2e against 7.96 Mt CO2e in Italy, a difference of 1.37 Mt CO2e.
That makes Niger's figure about 1.2 times Italy's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Italy ahead.
Italy ranks 40th and Niger ranks 38th of 201 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Italy averaged higher in 5 and Niger in 1.

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).
