Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Colombia
- Japan
How they compare
Colombia currently reports 18.65 Mt CO2e against 16.53 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 2.12 Mt CO2e.
That makes Colombia's figure about 1.1 times Japan's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Japan ahead.
Colombia ranks 28th and Japan ranks 30th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Colombia averaged higher in 1 and Japan in 5.

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).
