Pakistan vs South Africa: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy)
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from Transport (Energy) over time
- Pakistan
- South Africa
How they compare
Pakistan currently reports 0.8796 Mt CO2e against 0.665 Mt CO2e in South Africa, a difference of 0.2146 Mt CO2e.
That makes Pakistan's figure about 1.3 times South Africa's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was South Africa ahead.
Pakistan ranks 21st and South Africa ranks 23rd of 194 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Pakistan averaged higher in 5 and South Africa 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).
