Lesotho vs Rwanda: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Lesotho
- Rwanda
How they compare
Rwanda currently reports 0.0091 Mt CO2e against 0.0086 Mt CO2e in Lesotho, a difference of 0.0005 Mt CO2e.
That makes Rwanda's figure about 1.1 times Lesotho's.
The two have swapped places 4 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Rwanda ahead.
Lesotho ranks 152nd and Rwanda ranks 151st of 194 countries.
Rwanda has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
