Uganda vs Zambia: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Fugitive Emissions (Energy) over time
- Uganda
- Zambia
How they compare
Uganda currently reports 0.1109 Mt CO2e against 0.1014 Mt CO2e in Zambia, a difference of 0.0095 Mt CO2e.
That makes Uganda's figure about 1.1 times Zambia's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Zambia ahead.
Uganda ranks 12th and Zambia ranks 14th of 187 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Uganda averaged higher in 3 and Zambia in 3.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Uganda | Zambia | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 0.0153 Mt CO2e | 0.0153 Mt CO2e | 0 Mt CO2e | Zambia |
| 1980s | 0.0206 Mt CO2e | 0.0193 Mt CO2e | 0.0014 Mt CO2e | Uganda |
| 1990s | 0.0251 Mt CO2e | 0.0247 Mt CO2e | 0.0003 Mt CO2e | Uganda |
| 2000s | 0.032 Mt CO2e | 0.0346 Mt CO2e | 0.0027 Mt CO2e | Zambia |
| 2010s | 0.0564 Mt CO2e | 0.0624 Mt CO2e | 0.006 Mt CO2e | Zambia |
| 2020s | 0.1049 Mt CO2e | 0.0969 Mt CO2e | 0.0081 Mt CO2e | Uganda |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

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).
