Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Canada
- Mexico
How they compare
Canada currently reports 1.4 Mt CO2e against 1.21 Mt CO2e in Mexico, a difference of 0.19 Mt CO2e.
That makes Canada's figure about 1.2 times Mexico's.
The two have swapped places 13 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Mexico ahead.
Canada ranks 9th and Mexico ranks 11th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Canada averaged higher in 3 and Mexico in 3.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
