A recent report reveals that the global carbon dioxide emissions reached 36.7 billion metric tons in 2019, marking a new record high. This represents a 0.6% increase from the previous year. The main contributors to this surge were China with 28% of the total emissions, the United States with 15%, and India with 7%. The data also shows that the per capita emissions in China exceeded those in the European Union for the first time. The findings emphasize the pressing need for countries to implement more sustainable practices to curb carbon emissions and mitigate climate change.
