Carbon dioxide emissions are increasing faster in some parts of the world (for example, East Asia and the Pacific) than in others (see Figure 3). The majority of emissions come from three regions: East Asia and Pacific, Europe and Central Asia, and the United States, which together accounted for 74 percent of total global emissions in 2018.
Demand for fossil fuels was hardest hit in 2020 – especially oil, which plunged 8.6%, and coal, which dropped by 4%. Oil’s annual decline was its largest ever, accounting for more than half of the drop in global emissions. Global emissions from oil use plummeted by well over 1 100 Mt CO2, down from around 11 400 Mt in 2019.

EU leaders have agreed on a more ambitious goal for cutting greenhouse gases - reducing them by 55% by 2030, rather than 40%. The new target was reached after difficult all-night talks in Brussels
Averaged CO2 emissions only. According to figures from German nonprofit Atmosfair, flying from London to New York and back generates about 986kg of CO2 per passenger. There are 56 countries where
The US, China and Russia have cumulatively contributed the greatest amounts of CO 2 since 1850.
