Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide emissions in Niue stood at 322.69 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents.
That represents a change of down 13.6% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Niue peaked at 781.11 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1977 and was at its lowest, 33.6 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Niue 199th 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.
