Analysis
Namibia recorded 6.5 kt for agricultural soils — direct emissions (n2o) — unfccc in 2016. That is the highest value across all 26 years on record.
The figure is up 14.0% on the previous year and up 30.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, agricultural soils — direct emissions (n2o) — unfccc in Namibia peaked at 6.5 kt in 2016 and was at its lowest, 4.3 kt, in 1996.
That places Namibia 32nd out of 48 countries with data for 2016, putting it in the middle of the range.
The long-run direction has been consistently rising across the 26 years of available data.

About this data
The FAOSTAT domain on Emissions Totals summarizes the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions disseminated in the FAOSTAT Climate Change domains of emissions from agrifood systems. Data are computed following the Tier 1 methods of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National greenhouse gas (GHG) Inventories (IPCC, 1996; 1997; 2000; 2002; 2006; 2014). Emissions from other economic sectors as defined by the IPCC are also disseminated in the domain for completeness.
