Analysis
The most recent figure for nitrous oxide emissions in Togo is 2.41 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, measured in 2024. That is the highest value across all 175 years on record.
That represents a change of up 6.5% on the previous year and up 66.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Togo peaked at 2.41 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2024 and was at its lowest, 26,994 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Togo ranks 112th 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.
