Analysis
Uganda recorded 0.0507 units per square kilometre for emission totals - emissions (co2eq) from n2o (ar5) - agricultural in 2019. That is the highest value across all 59 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 2.3% on the previous year and up 30.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, emission totals - emissions (co2eq) from n2o (ar5) - agricultural in Uganda peaked at 0.0507 units per square kilometre in 2019 and was at its lowest, 0.009 units per square kilometre, in 1964.
That places Uganda 21st out of 194 countries with data for 2019, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.

How this figure is calculated
Emission Totals - Emissions (CO2eq) from N2O (AR5) - Agricultural Soils divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Emission Totals - Emissions (CO2eq) from N2O (AR5) - Agricultural Soils ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Emission Totals - Emissions (CO2eq) from N2O (AR5) - Agricultural FAO, FAOSTAT Climate Change, Emissions Totals, http://www.fao.org/faostat/en/#data/GT
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
