This is a ranking of industrialised
nations by their rises in greenhouse gas emissions between 1990 and
2004, issued by the UN climate change secretariat.
(First column is percentage change between 2004 and 1990, the
baseline for the UN's Kyoto Protocol on limiting global warming. Other
columns are millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent) =>
All countries except the United States, Australia, Turkey and Croatia are parties to the Kyoto Protocol, under which 35 nations and the European Union have to cut emissions by about 5 percent below 1990 levels by 2008-12. Belarus does not yet have a target under Kyoto. |
