Colombia vs Iraq: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Colombia
- Iraq
How they compare
Colombia currently reports 0.485 Mt CO2e against 0.4492 Mt CO2e in Iraq, a difference of 0.0358 Mt CO2e.
That makes Colombia's figure about 1.1 times Iraq's.
The two have swapped places 8 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Colombia ahead.
Colombia ranks 31st and Iraq ranks 33rd of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Colombia averaged higher in 3 and Iraq in 3.

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).
