Status of Green House Emission at Global Level
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions vary significantly across different regions, countries, and continents, influenced by factors such as industrial activity, energy production methods, population, and economic development. Here’s a detailed breakdown of GHG emissions on a continent-wise basis: 1. Asia Global Share: Asia is the largest emitter, contributing over 50% of global GHG emissions. Key Contributors: China: The world’s largest emitter, primarily due to its vast industrial base and reliance on coal for energy. India: The third-largest emitter, with a growing industrial sector and high reliance on coal. Japan, South Korea, and Indonesia: Significant contributors, with emissions driven by energy consumption, industrial processes, and deforestation (in the case of Indonesia). Trends: Rapid urbanization, industrialization, and economic growth are key drivers of emissions, with efforts in renewable energy adoption and efficiency improvements beginning to take effect. 2.
