Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Netherlands
- Zambia
How they compare
Zambia currently reports 8.67 Mt CO2e against 7.91 Mt CO2e in Netherlands, a difference of 0.76 Mt CO2e.
That makes Zambia's figure about 1.1 times Netherlands's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Netherlands ahead.
Netherlands ranks 51st and Zambia ranks 49th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Netherlands averaged higher in 5 and Zambia 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).
