Who is to blame for the high level of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere? It depends from which angle you look at the question. 

Carbon emissions avoided by electric vehicles 

Carbon emissions avoided by electric vehicles 

En 2021, les émissions de dioxyde de carbone devraient atteindre 36,4 gigatonnes, soit un niveau proche de celui de 2019, selon un rapport publié par le groupe de recherche Global Carbon Project. 

Les 30 plus grands émetteurs de dioxyde de carbone au monde, à l'exception de cinq d'entre eux, visent à atteindre un objectif de zéro émission nette de carbone avant 2070. 

All but five of the world's 30 largest emitters of carbon dioxide aim to achieve carbon neutrality – a state of net-zero carbon dioxide emissions – before 2070. 

The REPEAT project models various policy scenarios and how they could lead the U.S. toward or away from Biden’s goal of net-zero emissions by 2050.

Cement manufacturers are among the leading producers of climate-damaging carbon dioxide. 

Le chemin à prendre pour la firme pétrolière si elle compte se tenir à la décision de la justice néerlandaise qui ordonne une réduction de 45% de ses émissions de carbone d'ici 2030, par rapport aux niveaux de 2019. 

Les investissements pétroliers et gaziers des grandes compagnies pétrolières continueront à éclipser ceux dans les énergies renouvelables et à faible émission de carbone au cours des cinq prochaines années.
