A new report states that the global carbon dioxide emissions have reached a record high of 36.8 billion metric tons in 2021, despite a slight decrease in emissions during the pandemic. The report also highlights that China remains the biggest emitter of CO2, contributing 29% of global emissions, followed by the United States at 15% and India at 7%. The data reveals a concerning trend as countries are failing to meet their emission reduction targets set under the Paris Agreement. The report underscores the urgent need for more ambitious climate action to curb greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impacts of climate change on a global scale.
