According to a report published on Thursday by an energy consulting group, China’s greenhouse gas emissions exceeded the United States and other developed nations for the first time in 2019.
The United States has 27 percent of China’s emissions from its combined production – the world’s second-largest greenhouse gas emitter of 11 percent – as well as all 27 EU member states and India, which has the world’s third-highest emission rate of 6.6 percent. Rhodium Group ‘Analysis showed.
China, India and other developing nations have emphasized efforts to reduce global emission rates, arguing that rich developed nations like the US and the European Union should take action before them and help them support the bill of costs Should do
Chinese President Xi Jinping attended President Biden’s virtual climate summit at the White House last month, and said his country would reach peak emissions by 2030 and net zero emissions by mid-20s.
“To protect the environment is to protect productivity, and to promote the environment is to boost productivity. It is as simple as that, ”Xi said, adding that he will work with the US and the international community to reach those goals.
China is also a member of the Paris Climate Accord, former President Donald Trump of the Global Agreement withdrawn from 2019.
Biden reached a settlement in February.
China, with a population of over 1.4 billion, crossed the 14 gigatonne threshold for carbon dioxide equivalents for the first time in 2019 – a tripling of its 1990 levels and a 25 percent jump over the past decade, Rhodium reported.
Due to that increase, China’s share in global emissions increased to 27 percent in 2019 of 52 gigatons.
The report said it expects to see China’s emissions rise around 1.7 percent during the coronovirus epidemic, even as emissions in other countries declined, to lead the global community in 2020.
