In 2023, Australia led global nitrous oxide emissions from wetlands with 76.57 thousand metric tons of CO2 equivalent. Significant emissions reductions were seen in Portugal and Romania, while Greece experienced the largest increase. Substantial annual decreases were noted in Belgium and New Zealand, while Hungary and Greece observed significant increases over the same period. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the last five years reveals these fluctuations are part of broader long-term trends.
Future trends to watch for include heightened regulatory and conservation efforts impacting emissions from wetlands, technological advancements in emissions tracking, and the potential effects of climate change and wetland management strategies on emissions patterns. These factors are likely to influence future country-by-country emissions profiles significantly.
