Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from agriculture in Somalia stood at 4.15 Mt CO2e.
That represents a change of down 0.5% on the previous year and down 4.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from agriculture in Somalia peaked at 4.97 Mt CO2e in 1988 and was at its lowest, 3.27 Mt CO2e, in 1992.
That places Somalia 56th out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 55 years of available data.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agricultural sector. This includes emissions from livestock (IPCC 2006 codes 3.A.1 (enteric fermentation, 3.a.2 (manure management) and crops (IPCC 2006 codes 3.C.1 Emissions from biomass burning, 3.C.2 Liming, 3.C.3 Urea application, 3.C.4 Direct N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.5 Indirect N2O Emissions from managed soils, 3.C.6 Indirect N2O Emissions from manure management, 3.C.7 Rice cultivations). The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
