Breakdown of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide emissions by sector

Global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise at a time when they need to be rapidly falling.

To effectively reduce emissions, we need to know where they come from – which sectors contribute the most? How can we use this understanding to develop effective solutions and mitigation strategies?

In this article, we look at the breakdown of total greenhouse gas emissions, and the individual gases – carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide individually – by sector and country.
