How to reduce global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions will be a major topic at the upcoming COP27 United Nations climate summit in Egypt next week.
As the most abundant greenhouse gas emitted through human activity, CO2 has become the chief villain in most debates on how to combat climate change and slow the pace of global warming.
But following the recent passing of the Inflation Reduction Act, emissions from households, transport and other industry should start to trend lower and result in an overall decline in total U.S. pollution tallies.Another way to parse CO2 emissions data is to rank overall emissions in terms of the amount discharged per person in the country that produced it.
Yet Singapore emitted 39.55 tonnes of CO2 per person in 2021, compared to China's 7.45 tonnes per capita, thanks to Singapore being home to one of the world's largest refining and chemical sectors, according to data from the BP Statistical Review of World Energy and the World Bank.
