57 companies linked to 80% of greenhouse gas emissions since 2016

A mere 57 mega polluters produce bulk of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, new analysis shows

Just 57 mega polluters are responsible for the bulk of the world's greenhouse gas emissions and most big fossil fuel players have increased, rather than decreased, their output since the Paris Agreement in 2015, a staggering new report finds.

According to a report released on Thursday, April 4, CO2 emissions between 2016 and 2022 continued to increase for most large companies producing gas, coal, oil and cement. The most emitters are owned by states.

A report places Spain’s Repsol among the 50 largest global emitters of CO₂ in the last 170 years

A report by the British research center InfluenceMap has tracked the contribution to climate change of the world’s large fossil fuel producers and cement companies, both public and private. And it points to 122 large entities as responsible for 72% of global fossil fuel and cement CO₂ emissions since 1751. For their study, they took into account the CO₂ expelled directly (linked to the extraction and manufacturing process) and indirectly (from p…

Vast Majority of Global CO2 Emissions Tied to Just 57 Entities

Since the Paris Agreement was signed in 2015, a small number of fossil fuel entities — just 57 corporate and state producers — have been responsible for 80 percent of planet-warming carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. And a majority of those actors have only expanded production in the intervening years. That’s according to a new report released today by InfluenceMap detailing its Carbon Majors project, an influential database of fossil fuel producti…

Most carbon dioxide emissions linked to 57 entities: Research

Eighty percent of worldwide carbon emissions since 2016 are attributable to fewer than 60 companies and countries, according to a report published Thursday by the think tank InfluenceMap. The report attributes the vast majority of overall emissions to 57 entities, a combination of nation-states, state-owned companies and investor-owned companies. The three largest producers of man-made…
