Analysis
Djibouti recorded 0.2298 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person for per capita nitrous oxide emissions in 2024.
That represents a change of down 1.3% on the previous year and down 13.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita nitrous oxide emissions in Djibouti peaked at 1.3 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person in 1950 and was at its lowest, 0.1187 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, in 1850.
That places Djibouti 134th out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
