Analysis
Fiji recorded 182,195 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for nitrous oxide emissions in 2024.
That represents a change of down 8.1% on the previous year and down 0.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Fiji peaked at 399,942 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1997 and was at its lowest, 25,847 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Fiji 164th out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
