Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Peru
- Zambia
How they compare
Zambia currently reports 8.67 Mt CO2e against 7.6 Mt CO2e in Peru, a difference of 1.07 Mt CO2e.
That makes Zambia's figure about 1.1 times Peru's.
The two have swapped places 11 times across 55 shared years of data; in 1970 it was Peru ahead.
Peru ranks 52nd and Zambia ranks 49th of 203 countries.
Across the 6 decades both report, Peru averaged higher in 2 and Zambia in 4.
Head to head by decade
| Decade | Peru | Zambia | Difference | Ahead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1970s | 4.18 Mt CO2e | 2.85 Mt CO2e | 1.32 Mt CO2e | Peru |
| 1980s | 4.35 Mt CO2e | 5.12 Mt CO2e | 0.7661 Mt CO2e | Zambia |
| 1990s | 4.69 Mt CO2e | 5.36 Mt CO2e | 0.6772 Mt CO2e | Zambia |
| 2000s | 5.85 Mt CO2e | 5.45 Mt CO2e | 0.4022 Mt CO2e | Peru |
| 2010s | 6.91 Mt CO2e | 7.38 Mt CO2e | 0.4686 Mt CO2e | Zambia |

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).
