The United States dominates global transport greenhouse gas emissions with 62.54 thousand metric tons CO2 equivalent in 2023. With a 0.43% year-on-year increase, it continues to lead. Canada and Germany follow with modest gains, while Mexico sees a decrease of 2.39%. The United Kingdom and Sweden also show declines. Poland, Chile, and Hungary report notable increases, with Hungary rising by 3.22% from 2023. On average, the major emitters have demonstrated a stable growth pattern over the last five years.
Future trends to monitor include shifts in transport infrastructure, adoption of electric vehicles, and policy changes aimed at reducing emissions. North America's transport emissions could face considerable changes due to legislation and technology advancements. European countries, meanwhile, continue their transition to more sustainable transport solutions, which might further affect emissions perspective, positively or negatively. Watching these dynamics will be crucial for understanding shifts in global greenhouse gas emissions from transport.
