03 Energy transition: countries perspective
Other countries, such as the United States and
Australia, remain among the top global and percapita polluter. US carbon emissions have declined
slightly, by about 8% since 2019, but under Trump,
the country shifted away from its net zero policy.
Australia has even seen a slight increase in
emissions since 2019, as it continues to rely heavily
on coal.

CO2 emissions per capita (2024) [tons/capita]
Progress in CO₂ reduction in Norway and Sweden
has stagnated since 2019, with Norway’s percapita CO₂ emissions close to China’s and its percapita energy consumption being the highest.
