A new Research by the Rhodium Group has revealed that China spews more greenhouse gas emissions than all the world’s developed countries combined.
The Report disclosed that China accounted for 27% of global emissions.The US, which is the second biggest emitter contributed 11% while India for the first time surpassed the European Union with about 6.6% of the global total.
The research also revealed that China’s history as a major emitter is relatively short compared to other developed countries, many of which had more than a century head start.
The massive scale of China’s greenhouse gas emissions highlights the importance of President Xi Jinping’s drive to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and reach net-zero by 2060.
