Lesotho: Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions (total) excluding LULUCF (% change from 1990)

-11.75percent · 2024-788.6% since 2014

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. Annual figures for Lesotho from 1991 to 2024.
