Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Cayman Islands
- Greenland
How they compare
Cayman Islands currently reports 0.0085 Mt CO2e against 0.0075 Mt CO2e in Greenland, a difference of 0.001 Mt CO2e.
That makes Cayman Islands's figure about 1.1 times Greenland's.
The two have swapped places 7 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Greenland ahead.
Cayman Islands ranks 189th and Greenland ranks 192nd of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Cayman Islands averaged higher in 2 and Greenland in 4.

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).
