Analysis
Serbia recorded 0.5763 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person for per capita nitrous oxide emissions in 2024.
The figure is up 3.0% on the previous year and up 14.7% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita nitrous oxide emissions in Serbia peaked at 0.7509 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person in 1984 and was at its lowest, 0.1033 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, in 1850.
That places Serbia 39th 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.
