Analysis
Mali recorded 13.77 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for nitrous oxide emissions in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 0.2% on the previous year and up 25.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Mali peaked at 14.12 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2020 and was at its lowest, 254,426 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Mali ranks 43rd of 201 countries on this measure, in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
