Its vast areas of tropical forests are vital in balancing out climate change by taking in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. [4] Projected impacts on Indonesia's agricultural sector, national economy and health are also significant issues. Indonesia has committed to reducing its emissions within the framework of the Copenhagen Accord and Paris ...
In 2016, the global average temperature was already 1.1°C above pre-industrial levels. [15] According to the review of the scientific literature conducted by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), carbon dioxide is the most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas by warming contribution.

This is a list of sovereign states and territories by per capita carbon dioxide emissions [n 1] due to certain forms of human activity, based on the EDGAR database created by European Commission. The following table lists the annual per capita CO 2 emissions estimates (in kilotons of CO 2 per year) for the year 2023, as well as the change from ...
Indonesia performs best (ie. lowest ranking) in the area of climate and energy (41), mostly due to the excellent access to electricity, less so for CO2 emission levels from power production. Health impacts of environmental issues (78) and biodiversity and habitat (83) also ranks above average. [7] [8]
An alarming new report from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography shows a record-breaking amount of CO2 in our atmosphere. According to NBC, the new tests show the level of carbon dioxide, a ...
Indonesia has been called the "most ignored emitter" that "could be the one that dooms the global climate." [21] It is "one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases" (GHG). [22] 2013 measurements show Indonesia's total GHG emissions were 2161 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent which totaled 4.47 percent of the global total. [23]
Climate 101 is a Mashable series that answers provoking and salient questions about Earth’s warming climate. The last time CO2 levels were as high as today, ocean waters drowned the lands where ...
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. [7]
