Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Maldives
- Samoa
How they compare
Maldives currently reports 0.0409 Mt CO2e against 0.0377 Mt CO2e in Samoa, a difference of 0.0032 Mt CO2e.
That makes Maldives's figure about 1.1 times Samoa's.
The two have swapped places 3 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Samoa ahead.
Maldives ranks 171st and Samoa ranks 174th of 203 countries.
Samoa 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).
