Analysis
In 2024, nitrous oxide emissions in Tajikistan stood at 2.59 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
That represents a change of up 2.8% on the previous year and up 48.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Tajikistan peaked at 2.59 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 129,768 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
That places Tajikistan 110th 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.
