Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide emissions in Djibouti stood at 268,521 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents.
That represents a change of up 0.1% on the previous year and up 0.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Djibouti peaked at 269,871 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2018 and was at its lowest, 4,742 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Djibouti ranks 157th 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.
