Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Mali
- Sub-Saharan Africa
How they compare
Mali currently reports 242.9% against 103.0% in Sub-Saharan Africa, a difference of 139.9%.
That makes Mali's figure about 2.4 times Sub-Saharan Africa's.
The two have swapped places 1 time across 34 shared years of data; in 1991 it was Sub-Saharan Africa ahead.
Mali ranks 13th and Sub-Saharan Africa ranks 12th of 203 countries.
Across the 4 decades both report, Mali averaged higher in 3 and Sub-Saharan Africa in 1.
Head to head by decade

About this data
Change of emissions (as %) of current year with respect to emissions in baseline year 1990 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). Negative values indicate that the emission level for that year is lower than the emissions level in 1990.
