Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide emissions in Aruba stood at 8,501 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents.
That represents a change of down 3.0% on the previous year and up 16.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Aruba peaked at 8,920 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2019 and was at its lowest, 42.86 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Aruba ranks 190th of 201 countries on this measure, in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
