In 2023, Russia led global nitrous oxide emissions with 26.24 thousand metric tons of CO2 equivalent. Notable annual variation includes a 2.3% increase for Russia and a 2.95% increase for Ukraine. Conversely, Germany and France experienced declines of 3.26% and 2.4%, respectively. Over five years, changes reveal varying trends with Russia and Kazakhstan increasing emissions, while Germany and France reduced theirs.
Future trends to monitor involve potential shifts in policies and technologies aimed at reducing emissions, especially in high-emission countries. Monitoring the impact of these efforts on long-term global emission patterns will be crucial in assessing progress towards climate goals.
