Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Botswana
- North Korea
How they compare
Botswana currently reports 0.027 Mt CO2e against 0.0256 Mt CO2e in North Korea, a difference of 0.0014 Mt CO2e.
That makes Botswana's figure about 1.1 times North Korea's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was North Korea ahead.
Botswana ranks 123rd and North Korea ranks 125th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Botswana averaged higher in 2 and North Korea 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).
