1.10  Trends in countries emitting CO2

Trends in countries emitting CO2

CO2 emissions are:

• slowly reducing in developed economies, due to increased awareness of CO2 dangers, and the resulting social pressure on governments, businesses, and community behaviours.

• rapidly increasing in developing economies, due to people’s fundamental needs for Fossil Fuel products that enable fast economic growth of cities and communities.

Every country in the world needs to correct this CO2 emissions error quickly.
