Samoa vs Vanuatu: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Building (Energy) over time
- Samoa
- Vanuatu
How they compare
Vanuatu currently reports 0.0015 Mt CO2e against 0.0014 Mt CO2e in Samoa, a difference of 0.0001 Mt CO2e.
That makes Vanuatu's figure about 1.1 times Samoa's.
The two have swapped places 11 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Samoa ahead.
Samoa ranks 166th and Vanuatu ranks 165th of 197 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Samoa averaged higher in 4 and Vanuatu in 2.

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).
