In 2023, power industry emissions increased by 1.6 percent to a record high of 14.9 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (GtCO₂). This accounted for roughly 38 percent of global CO₂ emissions. Where are power sector emissions highest? China is the world's biggest power sector emitter...
According to the UN, the fashion industry produces between 2% to 8% of global carbon emissions. Another major contributor is the transport sector, which is more prevalent in developed countries. Greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector alone have more than doubled since 1970, with ...
Global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels and industry totaled 37.01 billion metric tons (GtCO₂) in 2023. Emissions are projected to have risen 1.08 percent in 2024 to reach a record high of 37.41 GtCO₂. Since 1990, global CO₂ emissions have increased by more than 60 percent....
Results indicate: 1) the total CO 2 emission of the global construction sector was 5.7 billion tons in 2009, contributing 23% of the total CO 2 emissions produced by the global economics activities. 94% of the total CO 2 from the global construction sector are indirect emission. 2) ...
Organization (ICAO) negotiations on a global market-based measure for emissions reduction in the sector. A resolution was adopted by the 2016 ICAO Assembly for a global market-based measure – the 'Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), that should apply from ...

China, as an exporter of carbon emissions, was also responsible for increasing the ECE generated by the international trade of China's light industry sector in 27 countries. Such findings provide an empirical basis for revised international trade strategies and policies to improve energy conservation ...
China has announced that it will peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. This commitment has further spurred the development of clean energy products. "China's strong capacity to manufacture clean energy products has driven down green transition costs, paving the...
