Analysis
Honduras recorded 2.70 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for nitrous oxide emissions in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 1.0% on the previous year and up 5.4% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Honduras peaked at 3.00 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2020 and was at its lowest, 29,890 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Honduras ranks 108th 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.
