Analysis
Uzbekistan recorded 15.74 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents for nitrous oxide emissions in 2024.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 3.6% on the previous year and up 31.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, nitrous oxide emissions in Uzbekistan peaked at 19.96 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalents in 1987 and was at its lowest, 566,728 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents, in 1850.
Uzbekistan ranks 37th of 201 countries on this measure, in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
