Analysis

Mauritania recorded 90.7% for nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in 2024. That is the highest value across all 34 years on record.

The figure is up 2.3% on the previous year and up 34.8% over ten years.

Over the whole period, nitrous oxide (n2o) emissions (total) excluding lulucf in Mauritania peaked at 90.7% in 2024 and was at its lowest, -1.0%, in 1992.

Mauritania ranks 63rd of 204 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.

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.
