Analysis
Croatia recorded 2.12 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for nitrous oxide emissions in 2024.
That represents a change of down 2.4% on the previous year and down 1.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Croatia peaked at 3.87 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1984 and was at its lowest, 112,452 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Croatia ranks 115th 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.
