In 2023, the United States led greenhouse gas emissions from transport, contributing significantly more than other countries. Canada showed a steady increase, while Germany and Italy had modest growth. By contrast, the UK and Mexico experienced declines in emissions. Eastern European countries, particularly Hungary and Poland, saw substantial increases in emissions, while Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands observed declines.
The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the last five years illustrated variations in trends, with notable increases in Eastern Europe and gradual declines in some Western European nations.
Looking ahead, global trends will likely be influenced by technological advancements, stringent emission regulations, and the adoption of electric vehicles, which are expected to curb emissions in developed nations while emissions in emerging markets might increase as transport demand rises.
