Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Jamaica
- Zambia
How they compare
Jamaica currently reports 0.0295 Mt CO2e against 0.0278 Mt CO2e in Zambia, a difference of 0.0017 Mt CO2e.
That makes Jamaica's figure about 1.1 times Zambia's.
The two have swapped places 6 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Jamaica ahead.
Jamaica ranks 118th and Zambia ranks 120th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Jamaica averaged higher in 4 and Zambia 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).
