Legend

There are 3 fields used on this chart (including filters):
  • nitrous oxide emissions: A measure of annual emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O), one of the six Kyoto greenhouse gases (GHG), from the agriculture, energy, waste, and industrial sectors, excluding LULUCF.. The measure is standardized to carbon dioxide equivalent values using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) factors of IPCC's 5th Assessment Report (AR5). Nitrous oxide emissions are emissions from agricultural biomass burning, industrial activities, and livestock management. This field is expressed in Mt of CO2 equivalent.
  • electricity production from nuclear sources: Sources of electricity refer to the inputs used to generate electricity. Nuclear power refers to electricity produced by nuclear power plants. This field is expressed in % of total.
  • country: Name of country.
