Afghanistan vs Cameroon: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Afghanistan
- Cameroon
How they compare
Afghanistan currently reports 0.0498 Mt CO2e against 0.044 Mt CO2e in Cameroon, a difference of 0.0058 Mt CO2e.
That makes Afghanistan's figure about 1.1 times Cameroon's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Cameroon ahead.
Afghanistan ranks 103rd and Cameroon ranks 106th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Afghanistan averaged higher in 2 and Cameroon in 4.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
