From the perspective of regional emissions, the Asia-Pacific region currently accounts for the largest proportion of global carbon emissions. In 2020, the carbon emissions in the Asia-Pacific region will account for more than half of the global total emissions, accounting for 52%, and the carbon emissions in North America will account for16.6%; Europe's carbon emission ratio is 1 1. 1%.
Detailed introduction:
In order to achieve the goal of the Paris Agreement to control the global average temperature rise below 2℃, the global carbon removal may need to be completed from 6.5438+0.5 million tons to 6.5438+0.5 million tons per year.
Worryingly, in the past few decades, the total global carbon emissions have been increasing. From 2000 to 20 19, global carbon dioxide emissions increased by 40%. Especially in 20 19, global carbon emissions reached 34.36 billion tons, a record high. In 2020, affected by the global COVID-19 epidemic, the global carbon emissions will generally decrease, and the global carbon emissions will drop to 32.28 billion tons, down 6.3% year-on-year.
