IDA only vs Least developed countries: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- IDA only
- Least developed countries
How they compare
IDA only currently reports 1.28 Mt CO2e against 1.27 Mt CO2e in Least developed countries, a difference of 0.01 Mt CO2e.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Least developed countries ahead.
IDA only ranks 16th and Least developed countries ranks 17th of 45 groups.
Across the 6 decades both report, IDA only averaged higher in 1 and Least developed countries in 5.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from fugitive emissions (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.1.bc Petroleum Refining - Manufacture of Solid Fuels and Other Energy Industries, 1.B.1 Solid Fuels, 1.B.2 Oil and Natural Gas, 5.B. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
