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...
sector indicatorssuccessful policies2°C limitThis article shows the potential impact on global GHG emissions in 2030, if all countries were to implement sectoral climate policies similar to successful examples already implemented elsewhere. This assessment was represented in the IMAGE and GLOBIOM/G4M ...
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...
However, these figures don't include the emissions produced by the manufacture and transportation of fertiliser products. The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) accounting system includes these emissions in the industrial sector rather than the agricultural sector. According to ...
Agricultural production is strongly affected by and a major contributor to climate change. Agriculture and land-use change account for a quarter of total global emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG). Agriculture receives around US$600 billion per year worl
Implementing several material efficiency strategies together in a High Efficiency (HE) scenario could almost half the baseline emissions. Yet, even in this scenario, the building material sector would require double its current proportional share of emissions to meet a 1.5 °C-compatible target. 展开...

Here,we estimate global GHG emissions from 11 categories of livestock in 237 countries during the period 1961 to 2010 by using a Tier 1 method.We calculate the total impact of Climatic Change(2014) 126:203–216 205 livestock sector, taking into account variation in mean annual air temperature...
What It Means for Intel’s Global Operations: Intel is committing to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its operations, otherwise known as its Scope 1 and 2 emissions, by 2040. Intel’s priority is to actively reduce its emissions, in line with international standards and clima...
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions related to food consumption complement production-based or territorial accounts by capturing carbon leaked through trade. Here we evaluate global consumption-based food emissions between 2000 and 2019 and underlying drivers
