We will strictly limit the increase in coal consumption over the 14th five-year plan period (2021-2025) and phase it down in the 15th five-year plan period (2026-2030)
The Kyoto Protocol was the first serious effort to not only acknowledging a role of humans in global warming, but to also implement measures to reducing this impact caused by greenhouse gas emissions. Since then, carbon emissions have been rising constantly, largely fuelled by considerable economic growth.
With almost 11.073 MtCO2, oil was the second biggest source of carbon emissions in 2020 (almost 30%).
Most emissions from oil in 2020 were produced in the United States of America (2.021 MtCO2), followed by China (1.612 MtCO2) and India (603 MtCO2). Russia, Japan, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, Germany, Canada and Iran complete the top 10.
