Greece vs Switzerland: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Greece
- Switzerland
How they compare
Switzerland currently reports 0.0451 Mt CO2e against 0.0425 Mt CO2e in Greece, a difference of 0.0026 Mt CO2e.
That makes Switzerland's figure about 1.1 times Greece's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Greece ahead.
Greece ranks 108th and Switzerland ranks 106th of 198 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Greece averaged higher in 5 and Switzerland in 1.

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).
