Australia vs Pakistan: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Australia
- Pakistan
How they compare
Pakistan currently reports 59.45 Mt CO2e against 50.81 Mt CO2e in Australia, a difference of 8.64 Mt CO2e.
That makes Pakistan's figure about 1.2 times Australia's.
The two have swapped places 5 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Australia ahead.
Australia ranks 8th and Pakistan ranks 7th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Australia averaged higher in 4 and Pakistan in 2.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Australia | Pakistan | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 33.14 Mt CO2e | 12.73 Mt CO2e | 20.42 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 1980s | 34.38 Mt CO2e | 19.07 Mt CO2e | 15.31 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 1990s | 40.66 Mt CO2e | 27.63 Mt CO2e | 13.02 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2000s | 44.38 Mt CO2e | 37.58 Mt CO2e | 6.8 Mt CO2e | Australia |
| 2010s | 46.16 Mt CO2e | 48.16 Mt CO2e | 2 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
| 2020s | 48.19 Mt CO2e | 57.49 Mt CO2e | 9.3 Mt CO2e | Pakistan |
Averages of every year both report within each decade.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF.. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
