The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions reached 33.9 gigatons (Gt) in 2020. Of this, 13.5 Gt originated from electricity and heating, the largest source compared to others.

Industry contributed 8.5 Gt of carbon emissions last year, followed by transportation at 7.2 Gt. Buildings also generated 2.9 Gt of carbon emissions. Meanwhile, 1.9 Gt of carbon emissions came from other sources.

The IEA aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Therefore, these total emissions will continue to be reduced globally over the next 30 years.
