Kenya vs Least developed countries: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Agriculture
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Agriculture over time
- Kenya
- Least developed countries
How they compare
Least developed countries currently reports 220.79 Mt CO2e against 14.29 Mt CO2e in Kenya, a difference of 206.5 Mt CO2e.
That makes Least developed countries's figure about 15.5 times Kenya's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Least developed countries has been ahead every year.
Kenya ranks 27th and Least developed countries ranks 2nd of 202 countries.
Least developed countries has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
