Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide emissions in Philippines stood at 18.40 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 1.1% on the previous year and up 50.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Philippines peaked at 18.40 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 347,204 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Philippines 33rd out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
