Between 1995 and 2009, nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions from transport in the United Kingdom dropped from 1.55 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent to some 840 thousand tons. However, this figure has been rising in recent years, totaling one million metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2019. One year later, N₂O emissions dropped again, and in 2022 stood at around 920 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.
