Analysis
Cote d'Ivoire recorded 4.02 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for nitrous oxide emissions in 2024.
That represents a change of up 1.7% on the previous year and up 21.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Cote d'Ivoire peaked at 4.06 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2016 and was at its lowest, 89,277 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Cote d'Ivoire 92nd 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.
