Analysis
Least developed countries: UN classification recorded 2.37 Mt CO2e for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in 2024. That is the highest value across all 55 years on record.
That represents a change of up 3.1% on the previous year and up 44.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions from transport (energy) in Least developed countries: UN classification peaked at 2.37 Mt CO2e in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0.1054 Mt CO2e, in 1970.
That places Least developed countries: UN classification 36th out of 46 groups 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.

About this data
A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the transportation sector (subsector of the energy sector) including IPCC 2006 codes 1.A.3.a Civil Aviation, 1.A.3.b_noRES Road Transportation no resuspension, 1.A.3.c Railways, 1.A.3.d Water-borne Navigation, 1.A.3.e Other Transportation. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5).
