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.

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.
