China and the United States (US), two leading global economies, are the world's largest emitters of carbon. Research released by the World Resources Institute (WRI) identifies China as the leading contributor of carbon dioxide emissions globally, at 10.68 billion tons of CO₂ per year.

The US ranks second, producing 5.82 billion tons of CO₂ emissions annually. Indonesia is also among the world's largest contributors of greenhouse gas emissions, ranking sixth with 1.98 billion tons of CO₂ emissions per year.

Carbon dioxide emissions are the waste or byproduct gas released during CO₂ combustion. These emissions are a primary cause of climate change and global warming. At the Conference of the Parties (COP) 21, held in Paris in November 2015, nearly all participating countries, including Indonesia, committed to reducing carbon emissions to limit the rate of global warming.
