Kenya vs Uganda: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Kenya
- Uganda
How they compare
Uganda currently reports 0.4925 Mt CO2e against 0.4097 Mt CO2e in Kenya, a difference of 0.0828 Mt CO2e.
That makes Uganda's figure about 1.2 times Kenya's.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Uganda ahead.
Kenya ranks 29th and Uganda ranks 27th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Kenya averaged higher in 2 and Uganda in 4.

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).
