China's power sector emissions have risen five-fold since 2000, owing to the country's rapid economic growth. In comparison, power sector emissions in the U.S. - the sector's biggest emitter at the turn of the century - have fallen by almost 30 percent since 2000. Emissions from coal...
Since 1990, global CO₂ emissions have increased by more than 60 percent. Who are the biggest emitters? The biggest contributor to global GHG emissions is China, followed by the United States. China wasn't always the world's biggest emitter, but rapid economic growth and industrialization in...
Transport sector is one of the main global carbon emitters. Its production-side aggregated carbon intensity (i.e., the ratio of carbon emissions to GDP, AI) has been well explored, but its demand-side aggregated embodied carbon intensity (i.e., the ratio of embodied emissions to embodied ...
Global carbon dioxide emissions from the energy sector stalled in 2014, the first time in 40 years during a period of economic growth, the International Energy Agency said Friday. By far the main culprit in global warming, carbon dioxide emissions stood at 32.3 billion tonnes in 2014, unchanged...
those implemented in the sector 'electricity supply' have the highest impact on global emissions compared to the 'current policies' scenario.Replicating the impact of these policies worldwide could lead to emission and energy trends in the renewable electricity, passenger transport, industry (including...
The emissions decline is driven primarily by economic factors, particularly the increasing cost-effectiveness of low-carbon technology in sectors such as power and road transport. For example, solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment in Europe is on track to reach 2030 targets, while China is making stri...

A Global Breakdown of Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sector In a few decades, greenhouse gases (GHGs)—chiefly in the form of CO₂ emissions—have risen at unprecedented rates as a result of global growth and resource consumption. To uncover the major sectors where these emissions originate, this...
Berglof highlighted China's pivotal role in promoting sustainable global growth, saying the country is dedicated to achieving the goal of peaking carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and reaching carbon neutrality before 2060. "I think that's very good news for China, but also good news for the...
