Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide emissions in Cambodia stood at 4.56 million.
The figure is down 1.4% on the previous year and up 1.2% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Cambodia peaked at 5.26 million in 2018 and was at its lowest, 74,851, in 1850.
That places Cambodia 87th out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
