Congo vs Sierra Leone: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Congo
- Sierra Leone
How they compare
Sierra Leone currently reports 0.8927 Mt CO2e against 0.7986 Mt CO2e in Congo, a difference of 0.0941 Mt CO2e.
That makes Sierra Leone's figure about 1.1 times Congo's.
The two have swapped places 10 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Sierra Leone ahead.
Congo ranks 134th and Sierra Leone ranks 132nd of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Congo averaged higher in 3 and Sierra Leone in 3.

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).
