Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide emissions in Kyrgyzstan is 1.91 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024.
The figure is up 0.4% on the previous year and up 6.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Kyrgyzstan peaked at 2.24 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1987 and was at its lowest, 222,789 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Kyrgyzstan 118th 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.
