UNU-WIDER - United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research’s Post

Last week we asked you whether scope 1, scope 2 or scope 3 contributes the most to our CO₂ emissions. ♻ Here is the answer. 👇 Stay tuned for further insights on our scope 3 emissions during our Annual Press Conference this Thursday.  #ClimateNeutrality #ClimateGoals #CircularEconomy

In 1850, global CO2 emissions were 200 million tons with a population of 1.7 billion. By 2020, emissions skyrocketed to 32 billion tons with a population of 7.8 billion. This means that while the population grew 6.5 times, CO2 emissions increased 160 times!

Tomorrow is #ZeroEmissionsDay🏭 Did you know that global CO₂ emissions in 2022 were 182 times higher than in 1850? Despite changes over time, the top 10 emitters still contribute 76% of global CO₂ emissions.🤯 Check out the graphics below to see how emissions by different countries have changed since 1850.📊   What steps can you take today to help shift toward a zero-emissions future?

Are you maintaining your CO2 emissions at the same level while meeting your energy needs with a lower carbon footprint? Can we reach the 1.5°C target by 2050 while sustaining the current net emissions level? #CO2emissions #carbonfootprint #climatechange #2050goals

The latest data on global CO2 emissions highlights a mixed picture. While advanced economies show record declines, countries like China and India continue to see significant increases. Pakistan, despite low emissions, faces severe impacts from climate change, especially in mountainous regions. This underscores the urgent need for global action to mitigate climate change's disparate impacts and invest in resilience-building measures, particularly in vulnerable areas like Pakistan's mountains.UN Climate Change
