Analysis
In 2024, per capita nitrous oxide emissions in Sudan stood at 0.5695 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person.
The figure is down 0.6% on the previous year and down 18.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita nitrous oxide emissions in Sudan peaked at 1.03 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person in 1950 and was at its lowest, 0.0731 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, in 1850.
That places Sudan 41st 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.
