Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- North Korea
- Namibia
How they compare
North Korea currently reports 0.0256 Mt CO2e against 0.023 Mt CO2e in Namibia, a difference of 0.0026 Mt CO2e.
That makes North Korea's figure about 1.1 times Namibia's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was North Korea ahead.
North Korea ranks 125th and Namibia ranks 127th of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, North Korea averaged higher in 5 and Namibia in 1.

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).
