Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- South Korea
- Mongolia
How they compare
South Korea currently reports 13.14 Mt CO2e against 12.2 Mt CO2e in Mongolia, a difference of 0.94 Mt CO2e.
That makes South Korea's figure about 1.1 times Mongolia's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Mongolia ahead.
South Korea ranks 36th and Mongolia ranks 39th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, South Korea averaged higher in 5 and Mongolia in 1.

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).
