Analysis
Turkey recorded 40.17 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for nitrous oxide emissions in 2024.
That represents a change of up 0.3% on the previous year and up 20.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Turkey peaked at 41.98 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 2020 and was at its lowest, 1.22 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Turkey ranks 13th of 201 countries on this measure, in the top 10%.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
