The World's Biggest Carbon Emitters—And The Story Behind The Numbers
SAMARINDA, INDONESIA: A tug pulls a coal barge past the Islamic center in Samarinda, Kalimantan, ... More Indonesia. Indonesia's overall carbon emissions remain relatively low, but they are growing faster than any other country among the world's top ten carbon emitters. (Photo by) The previous article discussed global and regional carbon emission trends. Today, I take a closer look at the world's ten biggest carbon emitters. Carbon emissions are typically measured in metric tons, but context matters. To better understand the cause and impact of a country's carbon emissions, we must look at emissions per capita and carbon productivity—how efficiently nations generate economic output from each ton of CO₂-equivalent emissions (defined in the previous article) released. A Deeper Look at the World's Top 10 Carbon Emitters In 2024, the same ten countries topped the list of the world's largest CO₂ emitters, although Canada and South Korea swapped positions at the bottom. Population and GDP data, sourced from national statistics agencies, the IMF, and World Bank estimates, offer valuable context for analyzing emissions in terms of scale, efficiency, and fairness. Metrics for Top 10 Global Carbon Emitters. Cumulatively, these ten countries account for nearly 70% of all global CO₂ emissions. But a closer look at the numbers shows that not all emissions are created equally. The table reveals structural differences between mature economies and emerging ones, between per capita emissions and economic productivity, and between nations whose emissions are falling and those where they're still accelerating. China: Big Footprint, Modest Efficiency China was responsible for more than the combined emissions of the next four countries on the list. Despite significant investments in renewables, China's emissions continue to rise, growing 1.8% per year over the past decade. More striking is China's carbon efficiency. For every kilogram of CO₂ emitted, China generates just $1.50 USD in economic output, a modest return compared to more efficient economies. Its per capita emissions, at 8.9 tons, are still lower than in many developed countries, but far higher than in other emerging economies. United States: Lower Emissions, Higher Consumption The U.S. ranks second in total emissions at 5.1 billion metric tons, or 12.5% of the global share. But the underlying trends are encouraging. Over the past decade, U.S. emissions have declined by an average of 1.0% per year. And when it comes to carbon efficiency, the U.S. is the best in the top ten. Every kilogram of CO₂-equivalent emissions yields $5.71 in economic output. Still, individual consumption remains high. The average American emits 15 tons of CO₂ annually—more than double the average Chinese citizen and nearly seven times the per capita emissions of an Indian. The U.S. is decarbonizing, but personal and lifestyle emissions remain a major challenge. India: Growing Fast, But Not Yet a Huge Contributor India illustrates the classic dilemma of the developing world. Emissions have grown 3.8% per year for the past decade—faster than any other country in the top ten except Indonesia. Per capita emissions remain extremely low at just 2.2 tons, but productivity is one of the lowest on the list at $1.21/kg of carbon emitted. This reflects India's population size, its ongoing industrialization, and its efforts to lift millions out of poverty. In climate discussions, India's leaders often point to these disparities to argue for more flexible targets. Contrasts and Outliers Other nations offer useful contrasts: The Legacy U.S. CO₂ Inventory Although China currently dominates growth of global carbon emissions--and will continue to do so for quite some time--the legacy atmospheric contribution is important. To understand the long-term impact of emissions, it's useful to step back and ask: What is the legacy impact of U.S. carbon emissions? What if we could magically erase all the carbon dioxide the U.S. has ever released into the atmosphere? As of May 2025, global atmospheric CO₂ levels hover around 430.5 parts per million (ppm)—up from about 280 ppm before the Industrial Revolution. The United States is responsible for approximately 24% of all historical CO₂ emissions since the 1800s, contributing an estimated 421 billion metric tons. Converting that into atmospheric impact isn't an exact science—it depends on how much CO₂ is absorbed by the oceans and forests—but a widely accepted estimate is that 1 ppm of CO₂ in the atmosphere equals roughly 7.8 billion metric tons of carbon emissions. Doing the math: 421 billion metric tons ÷ 7.8 billion metric tons per ppm ≈ 54 ppm That means if all of the U.S.'s historical emissions were somehow removed from the atmosphere, today's CO₂ level would drop from 430.5 ppm to around 376.5 ppm. That's roughly where the world's atmospheric CO₂ concentration stood in the late 1990s. It's a powerful reminder that carbon dioxide doesn't just vanish. It accumulates over time, creating a legacy effect that today's climate policies must reckon with. And it underscores why historical responsibility—alongside current emissions—is a key part of international climate discussions. Legacy emissions play a key role in climate discussions, but current emissions shape our trajectory. China's current output raises atmospheric CO₂ by roughly 1.6 ppm per year. The U.S. adds around 0.65 ppm. Final Thoughts: Emissions Must Be Viewed in Context Looking at emissions only in total terms misses critical context. Per capita and GDP-based metrics provide a more nuanced view of who is emitting, why, and with what result. These measurements also highlight the complexity of balancing economic growth, energy access, and climate commitments. In the next article in this series, I'll look at global oil production and consumption trends, which are helping drive record carbon emissions.

CNBC's Inside India newsletter: Peaked, paused, and poised? India's market reboot at half-time
Six months ago, the 2025 outlook for Indian equities looked far from rosy. India's stock market was entering the year from a correction, and my conversations with market watchers were bleak, with many predicting a slowdown in earnings and lofty valuation multiples. As we stand at the halfway mark of the year, it is safe to say that Indian equities have had a tumultuous six months marked by a bull run following U.S. President Donald Trump's wide-ranging tariff hikes, a sharp sell-off, and signs of a recovery. Still, the MSCI India Index — which captures the performance of 157 large- and mid-cap stocks — has risen just 5.68% so far, nearly seven percentage points less than the MSCI Asia Pacific Index. Meanwhile, the 50-stock Nifty 50 benchmark has added 8% so far this year, underperforming the 19.6% gains in Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index and the 29.4% surge in South Korea's Kospi index. My conversations on what was not too long ago one of the world's top-performing stock markets, have transitioned from euphoria to cautious optimism in the short term. "Indian markets peaked last September and then corrected all the way till February before bouncing back to peak levels now. However, quarter-on-quarter earnings have continued to slow, so we're back to square one," Pramod Gubbi, co-founder of Marcellus Investment Managers, told me. Lower earnings aside, experts have also raised concerns over India's ability to withstand competition from regional peers, which boast cheaper multiples while also having favorable demographics that support consumption growth. A strong contender is Hong Kong, which has seen a surge in listings and is reportedly attracting renewed interest from global funds. Vivek Subramanyam, founder and CEO of investment bank and asset manager TH Global Capital, estimates that the Nifty 50 is trading at a 60% premium to the Hang Seng Index and a 70% premium to its emerging market peers in Asia. "Regions like Taiwan and emerging Asia ex-China, with stronger growth prospects, could potentially outperform India," he said. Still, Subramanyam expects Indian companies' earnings per share in 2026 to grow at around 15% or 17% higher than that of its peers in emerging Asia and double that of those on the Hang Seng index. He expects Indian markets to "produce another single-digit gain" of up to 9% to 10% in the next six months. A trade deal between the U.S. and India — which is expected very soon — would allow for growth to come in at the higher end of the range as it would indicate a reduction in India's protectionist policies, Subramanyam explained. "India's valuations are certainly elevated compared to other emerging markets, and the short-term upside is limited. But I think the recent slowdown and ongoing recovery in growth make now a good time to selectively buy Indian equities in the medium to long-term," he added. As investors take bets on India, Subramanyam cautioned on the need to be careful when picking stocks. Subramanyam is looking out for companies with superior returns and what he calls "recurring revenues," which are predictable and sustainable over a 5-year period. One such company is Home First Finance Company India, which offers home loans catering to India's low and middle-income strata. "People are always going to need home loans. So, there is an inherent revenue stream for the company, which I think can compound in the next few years, given India's growing young population," Subramanyam explained. Marcellus' Gubbi is similarly looking at companies with strong balance sheets and cash, which can easily be deployed for R&D, advertising or even productivity-enhancing initiatives for staff, which can eventually yield better performance and earnings growth. I asked if he has a preference for value over quality stocks, and large- or small-cap names. He said, "I think value and quality have pretty good representation across market cap spectrums. You can't really say that all large cap stocks are quality, small cap is value." Large caps, Gubbi says, are trading at a discount to small caps as the latter have been seeing a "disproportionate amount of fund flows," partly because of investments by retail investors in domestic mutual funds. He has a bottom-up approach to stock selection, which is agnostic to sectors and market capitalization. Gubbi, however, added that flexi cap mutual fund managers are increasingly in favor of large caps over small-cap names when deciding allocations, "partly because valuations are still relatively lower." My takeaway from speaking to Subramanyam, Gubbi and Kevin Carter, founder of EMQQ Global, is consistent: India is a long-term play. Gubbi tells me that "predicting short term stock price moments is not just typical, it is futile to some extent." India, Carter added, is a place where every emerging market investor should have their money in. "India's population is bigger than all the other emerging markets combined, excluding China. So on paper, it is perfect. It's got the biggest population, the best demographics, the fastest growth, and that's driving consumption, so on paper, it's everything you could ever ask for," Carter added. The investor — whose focus is primarily on new age tech companies — says that Indian internet companies offer stronger growth momentum and attractive valuations than their emerging market peers, despite being a tad more expensive. Companies he is betting on include Eternal, the parent company of food delivery platform Zomato, travel platform Le Travenues Technology, also known as Ixigo, and recruitment and matrimony platform Info Edge. These companies are in the early innings of their growth, Carter says, adding that they have huge potential to grow their revenues and profits as Indian consumers become more affluent and spend more over the next decade or two. He foresees that Indian tech names will see a pickup in investor interest in the medium term, as investors look to rotate out of U.S. tech names, such as the so-called Magnificent Seven stocks, amid macroeconomic uncertainties and a weaker dollar. "India has solid digital public infrastructure and the best leaders running tech companies. So it's a perfect place for global investors to invest in, especially for internet companies, which are set to see a compounding in its growth," Carter added. Radhika Rao, senior economist at DBS, said there are positive signs that Indian markets could reach new highs. Rao is also optimistic that India can reach a deal with the U.S., but noted that New Delhi might not lower barriers on its agriculture sector too quickly. Sanjay Mathur, ANZ's chief economist for Southeast Asia and India, said that even if a trade agreement with the U.S. does not pan out, the hit to New Delhi's economy might not be too significant because trade "is a fairly small part" of India's growth.'Sensitive stage' of U.S.-India trade negotiations.
