Analysis

Vanuatu recorded 0.0015 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

Compared with earlier readings it is up 15.4% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from building (energy) in Vanuatu peaked at 0.0015 Mt CO2e in 2021 and was at its lowest, 0.0002 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

That places Vanuatu 165th out of 197 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.

The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the building sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.4 Residential and other sectors, 1.A.5 Non-Specified. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
