Ranking of annual per capita carbon emissions in the world from 1949 to 2022
North America: Since 1949, North America's per capita carbon emissions have been relatively high, reaching a peak in the early 1960s, and then showing a fluctuating downward trend, but began to rise slowly in the early 21st century.
Europe: Europe's per capita carbon emissions rose between 1949 and 1960, and then entered a period of fluctuating decline, with a more obvious downward trend in the early 21st century.
Asia: Asia's per capita carbon emissions have generally been on an upward trend since 1949, especially in the early 21st century, when the upward trend was more significant.
South America: South America's per capita carbon emissions rose between 1949 and 1970, but the increase was not large, and then remained basically stable.
China: China's per capita carbon emissions have also been on an upward trend since 1949, especially in the early 21st century, when the growth rate accelerated.
World vs China
Annual Carbon Emissions Changes (World vs China)
Compared with the global average, China's carbon emissions growth trend started later, but the growth rate is faster. Especially after the reform and opening up, with the rapid development of the economy, the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization, China's carbon emissions have increased significantly.
Total Carbon Emissions vs. per capita Carbon Emissions in 2022
Leading in total volume: China has a high total carbon emissions, which is related to the country's economic scale, industrialization level and population. As one of the global manufacturing centers, China's energy consumption is large, resulting in a high total carbon emissions.
Moderate per capita: Despite the high total volume, due to China's large population base, per capita carbon emissions are still lower than many high-income developed countries.
Characteristics of the development stage: China is still in the process of development, and the industrialization and urbanization process is still continuing, which has led to a continuous increase in energy demand and a corresponding increase in carbon emissions.
China's carbon emission policies and targets
China's main progress and achievements in reaching carbon peak and neutrality
Optimization of energy structure
China vigorously promotes the replacement of high-carbon energy with low-carbon energy and fossil energy with renewable energy, and strictly controls new coal-fired power projects. From 2013 to 2022, China's coal consumption ratio will drop from 67.4% to 56.2%, and the non-fossil energy consumption ratio will increase from 10.2% to 17.5%.
Industrial structure adjustment
While the three-industry structure is constantly upgrading, the internal structure of the industry is also continuously optimized during the adjustment. The proportion of China's three industries is adjusted from 8.9: 44.2: 46.9 in 2013 to 7.3: 39.9: 52.8 in 2022.
Improved ecosystem carbon sequestration capacity
In the past decade, China has completed afforestation of 960 million mu, contributing a quarter of the world's new forest area, becoming the country with the fastest and largest growth in forest resources in the world. In 2022, China's forest coverage rate was 24.02%, and the forest stock was 19.493 billion m³, which has maintained growth for more than 30 years. The total carbon storage of forest vegetation increased by 1.375 billion tons to 9.2 billion tons.
Synergistic Efficiency of Pollution Reduction and Carbon Reduction
China is committed to promoting high-quality economic development with high-level ecological and environmental protection, and achieving win-win results in terms of environment, climate and economy. In the decade from 2013 to 2022, China supported 6.2% economic growth with an average annual energy consumption growth rate of 3%, which is equivalent to using 1.4 billion tons of standard coal less and emitting nearly 3 billion tons of carbon dioxide less.
China's current status of carbon emissions
Industry and Power:
In most provinces, carbon emissions from the industrial and power sectors increased between 2019 and 2020, but the trend of change between 2020 and 2023 was inconsistent. The economically developed eastern coastal provinces and major municipalities have undergone rapid industrial transformation and upgrading, and the changes in industrial and power carbon emissions have tended to stabilize or even decline.The overall economic and technological levels of the northern and western provinces are relatively backward, and the transformation of industries and energy is slow. Under the demand for economic development, annual carbon emissions are still rising.
Ground Transportation:
Carbon emissions from the ground transportation industry generally increased significantly between 2019 and 2020, but stabilized or slightly declined between 2021 and 2022.
Aviation:
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, the aviation industry has been on a downward trend from 2020 to 2022, but after the Chinese government announced a full lifting of the lockdown in the first half of 2022, the aviation industry gradually recovered and carbon emissions increased significantly.
