Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Japan
- Least developed countries: UN classification
How they compare
Least developed countries: UN classification currently reports 277.25 Mt CO2e against 16.53 Mt CO2e in Japan, a difference of 260.72 Mt CO2e.
That makes Least developed countries: UN classification's figure about 16.8 times Japan's.
Across all 55 years both countries report, Least developed countries: UN classification has been ahead every year.
Japan ranks 30th and Least developed countries: UN classification ranks 26th of 203 countries.
Least developed countries: UN classification has averaged higher in every one of the 6 decades both report.

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).
