Emissions are rising due to rapid industrial development, but both countries are also investing in cleaner energy solutions. China: Mixed Signals China remains the world’s largest emitter of carbon dioxide, contributing approximately 32% of global CO₂ emissions in 2024.

In response to these financial challenges, the UN has introduced spending cuts of up to 20% and a hiring freeze, underlining the gravity of the crisis.
