Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Costa Rica
- Nepal
How they compare
Nepal currently reports 0.0813 Mt CO2e against 0.0745 Mt CO2e in Costa Rica, a difference of 0.0068 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nepal's figure about 1.1 times Costa Rica's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Costa Rica ahead.
Costa Rica ranks 88th and Nepal ranks 85th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Costa Rica averaged higher in 4 and Nepal in 2.

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).
