Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide emissions in Serbia stood at 3.88 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.4% on the previous year and up 6.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Serbia peaked at 5.91 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1984 and was at its lowest, 208,859 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Serbia ranks 95th 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.
