Such national-level measures will need to be ...
Considering GHG per capita emissions in 2022, China's levels (10.95) are almost 60 percent those of the United States (17.90) and less than a sixth of those of Qatar (67.38 – the country with the highest emissions of GHG per capita in 2022). [11][12] China, the United States, India, the EU27, Russia and Brazil were the six world largest GHG ...
Air pollution is among the biggest health problems of modern industrial society and is responsible for more than 10 percent of all deaths worldwide (nearly 4.5 million premature deaths in 2019), according to The Lancet. Air pollution can affect nearly every organ and system of the body, negatively affecting nature and humans alike.
The U.S. also saw an uptick in air pollution, climbing from a nationwide average of 8.9 µg/m3 in 2022 to 9.1 in 2023, with the southward-drifting smoke from Canada’s wildfires partly to blame.
The 2023 data represent the highest level recorded and experienced an increase of 1.9% or 994 Mt CO 2 eq compared to the levels in 2022. The majority of GHG emissions consisted of fossil CO 2 accounting for 73.7% of total emissions. [4] China, the United States, India, the EU27, Russia and Brazil were the world’s largest GHG emitters in 2023 ...
2022 Worldwide Greenhouse Gas Emissions (per capita; by region; growth). In variwide charts, the widths of the bars show country populations, the height of the bars indicates emissions per person, and the areas of the bars indicate total emissions for each country. Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activities intensify the greenhouse ...
Global map of Per capita carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions from fossil fuels and industry, 2022. Land use change is not included. [1] 2022 Worldwide Greenhouse Gas Emissions (per capita; by region; growth). Variwide diagram. Annual CO 2 emissions by region.
The following table lists the 1970, 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 annual per capita GHG [n 1] emissions estimates (in metric tons of CO 2 equivalent per year). The data include carbon dioxide (CO 2), methane (CH 4) and nitrous oxide (N 2 O) from all sources, including agriculture and land use change. They are measured in carbon ...
