Analysis
Armenia recorded 711,601 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for nitrous oxide emissions in 2024.
The figure is down 2.4% on the previous year and down 26.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Armenia peaked at 1.53 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2016 and was at its lowest, 82,370 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Armenia ranks 143rd of 201 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.
