Analysis

Botswana recorded 0.0026 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.

That represents a change of unchanged over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from fugitive emissions (energy) in Botswana peaked at 0.0026 Mt CO2e in 2014 and was at its lowest, 0 Mt CO2e, in 1970.

Botswana ranks 107th of 187 countries on this measure, in the middle of the range.

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