Nitrous Oxide Emissions

• This resource includes an interactive map and graphs that show the total nitrous oxide emissions for countries throughout the world, starting from 1990. 
• Nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions are measured in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (CO₂e) based on a 100-year global warming potential value. 

Positives

• The interactive provides three different ways for students to explore data (chart, map, table).
• Students may choose to view datasets for various geographic locations and time periods.
• Related research and data are linked.
• The site explains how the data was collected.

• Learners need to be familiar with the concept of gas emissions.
• Educators would need time to get familiar with this interactive media and decide on how to implement it with the learners.

• Can be used as a practical application of the uses of line graphs learned in Statistics and Mathematics.
• There are other related interactive maps for sources of emissions.
• Useful for creating awareness about one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This resource outlines Global N₂O emissions aggregated from selected countries. Ideally, Global warming potentials for N₂O was calculated within a period of 100 years was taken into account to get the sum of CO₂ equivalent expressed in tonnes. This resource is recommended for teaching.
