Rating fourth, India accounted for seven per cent of worldwide CO2 emissions.

Nonetheless, at 2.4 tCO2e (tonne carbon dioxide equal), India’s per capita greenhouse fuel emission is way under the worldwide common of 6.3 tCO2e, in response to a report launched final 12 months by the United Nations Surroundings Programme.

Per capita emission within the US (14 tCO2e) is way above the worldwide common, adopted by Russia (13 tCO2e), China (9.7 tCO2e), Brazil and Indonesia (about 7.5 tCO2e every), and the European Union (7.2 tCO2e).
