Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Nigeria
- United Kingdom
How they compare
Nigeria currently reports 28.96 Mt CO2e against 25.62 Mt CO2e in United Kingdom, a difference of 3.34 Mt CO2e.
That makes Nigeria's figure about 1.1 times United Kingdom's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was United Kingdom ahead.
Nigeria ranks 18th and United Kingdom ranks 20th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Nigeria averaged higher in 1 and United Kingdom in 5.

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).
