Analysis
Czechia recorded 0.6233 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person for per capita nitrous oxide emissions in 2024.
The figure is up 2.4% on the previous year and down 10.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita nitrous oxide emissions in Czechia peaked at 1.06 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person in 1980 and was at its lowest, 0.0682 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, in 1850.
That places Czechia 33rd out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
