Greenhouse gas distributions to inform the global stocktake

The NewClimate Institute analyzed sectoral greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per capita across 180 countries from 2000 to 2019 to inform the Global Stocktake (GST). The analysis reveals divergent trends across sectors, with energy supply, buildings, and agriculture showing declines in per capita emissions for most countries, while transport and industry emissions per capita increased in over half of the studied nations.

• Transport and industry sectors have seen per capita emissions increase in more than half of the 180 countries analyzed over the last twenty years. Specifically, only 25% of countries had 2019 transport emissions per capita below 2000 levels, and slightly over one-third of countries had 2019 industry emissions per capita below 2000 levels.
• In contrast to industry and transport, the energy supply, building, and agriculture sectors show that most countries have per capita emissions in 2019 that are lower than their 2000 levels.
• Road transport is identified as a laggard among subsectors, with per capita emissions increasing in nearly two-thirds of the countries. While some subsectors have seen per capita emissions decline in over half of the countries in the last five years—with some countries achieving decline rates exceeding 10% per year in energy supply and industry—overall total emissions trends remain inconsistent with the Paris Agreement temperature goals.
