Analysis
The most recent figure for per capita nitrous oxide emissions in Yemen is 0.1259 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, measured in 2024.
That represents a change of down 1.4% on the previous year and down 21.3% over ten years.
Over the whole period, per capita nitrous oxide emissions in Yemen peaked at 0.2767 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person in 1958 and was at its lowest, 0.0416 tonnes of CO₂ equivalents per person, in 1850.
That places Yemen 173rd out of 201 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
