Land-Use Change and Non-CO2 Gases Source: WRI, CAIT CO2 from fossil fuels is the largest GHG emission source. But LUCF and non-CO2 together account for about 40 percent of global emissions. • 1. World • 3. LDCs • 2. Developing Countries
GHGs by Sector Source: WRI, CAIT Energy is the largest sector, followed by land use change and agriculture. Energy-Related Sectors
Per Capita Emissions Source: WRI, CAIT Per capita emissions vary widely, although levels are generally higher in Annex I countries.
