The recent climate summit in November saw many countries committing to be more aggressive about their emission goals as well as the creation of a dual global carbon market.
A comparison of the top 40 countries reducing their emissions fastest found that more than half of the countries were from within Europe, where carbon emission mandates have been established longest.
squeaked into the top 40 at the 39th spot, a somewhat impressive feat given that it is the world’s second-largest polluter, reducing 16.7% of total carbon emissions over the decade.
