Analysis
Greenland recorded 0.1325 kt for all sectors without lulucf — emissions (co2eq) from n2o in 2023.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 25.0% over ten years.
Over the whole period, all sectors without lulucf — emissions (co2eq) from n2o in Greenland peaked at 1.32 kt in 2008 and was at its lowest, 0 kt, in 1996.
That places Greenland 206th out of 222 countries with data for 2023, 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
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.
