Sub-Saharan Africa (excluding high income) vs Uganda: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF
Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF over time
- Sub-Saharan Africa (excluding high income)
- Uganda
How they compare
Uganda currently reports 205.3% against 103.0% in Sub-Saharan Africa (excluding high income), a difference of 102.3%.
That makes Uganda's figure about 2.0 times Sub-Saharan Africa (excluding high income)'s.
The two have swapped places 2 times across 34 shared years of data; in 1991 it was Uganda ahead.
Sub-Saharan Africa (excluding high income) ranks 14th and Uganda ranks 17th of 47 groups.
Uganda has averaged higher in every one of the 4 decades both report.

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.
