Greenhouse gas distributions to inform the global stocktake

The analysis examines sectoral GHG emissions per capita from 2000 to 2019 across 180 countries. It finds that while energy supply, buildings, and agriculture emissions per capita have decreased in over half of the countries, transport and industry emissions per capita have increased in more than half. Road transport is identified as a particular laggard, with per capita emissions increasing in nearly two-thirds of the countries.

• Transport- and industry-related emissions per capita have increased in more than half of the 180 countries studied over the last twenty years. In the transport sector, only 25% of countries had 2019 emissions per capita lower than their 2000 levels, while slightly over one-third of countries saw this decline in industry.
• In contrast to transport and industry, the majority of countries studied saw a decrease in per capita emissions between 2000 and 2019 within the energy supply, building, and agriculture sectors.
• Recent data shows that road transport is a lagging sector, with per capita emissions increasing in almost two-thirds of the countries, although some countries have achieved annual decline rates exceeding 10% in certain industry and energy supply subsectors.
