China\u2019s greenhouse gas emissions in 2019 exceeded those of the U.S. and the developed world combined, according to a report<\/a> published Thursday by research and consulting firm Rhodium Group.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s emissions more than tripled during the past three decades, the report added.<\/p>\n

China is now responsible for more than 27% of total global emissions. The U.S., which is the world\u2019s second-highest emitter, accounts for 11% of the global total. India is responsible for 6.6% of global emissions, edging out the 27 nations in the EU, which account for 6.4%, the report said.<\/p>\n

The findings come after a climate summit<\/a> President Joe Biden<\/a> hosted last month, during which Chinese President Xi Jinping<\/a> reiterated his pledge to make sure the nation\u2019s emissions peak by 2030. He also repeated China\u2019s commitment to reach net-zero emissions by midcentury and urged countries to work together to combat the climate crisis.<\/p>\n
