According to the World Resources Institute, the top three greenhouse gas emitters — China, the European Union and the United States — contribute 41.5% of total global emissions, while the bottom 100 countries only account for only 3.6%. Collectively, the top 10 emitters account for over two-thirds of global GHG emissions.
The world cannot successfully fight climate change without significant action from the top 10 emitters.
WRI created a set of interactive charts called “Climate Watch” for tracking the progress of the Paris agreement.
I will discuss in details each of the key polluters status and pledges in the next article.
Meanwhile, I encourage you to check the charts and take responsible actions in your daily lives.
