A recent report indicates that the global carbon dioxide emissions reached a record high of 34 billion metric tons in 2020, despite a 6.4% decrease in emissions in the United States due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The report also reveals that China remains the largest emitter of carbon dioxide with 27% of the global total emissions, while the European Union saw a 10% decrease in emissions. These findings highlight the urgent need for countries to take action in reducing carbon emissions to combat climate change.
