Emissions 2020 1

Carbon emissions are being tracked by nation, industry, company, all over the world. The United Nations just released its Emissions Gap Report 2020 earlier this month. It's a summary of emissions by nation, the up/down trends, and a surprising recommendation for America.

With the high standard of living in the United States, it's no surprise that our carbon emissions as a nation are high, 13% of the global total. China comes in highest in total national emissions with 25% of the global total.

National totals are rising each year for China, Russia, and India. Emissions per capita - per person - rising there also. But in the US, per capita emissions are falling each year.
