- Mongolia
- North America
How they compare
North America currently reports 5.8 Mt CO2e against 0.7122 Mt CO2e in Mongolia, a difference of 5.09 Mt CO2e.
That makes North America's figure about 8.1 times Mongolia's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, North America has been ahead every year.
Mongolia ranks 18th and North America ranks 20th of 194 countries.
North America has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from electricity and heat generation (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 code 1.A.1.a. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
