national emissions

National emissions refer to the total amount of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, released into the atmosphere by a country's activities. These emissions mainly come from burning fossil fuels for energy, transportation, industry, and agriculture. They are a key factor in climate change because they trap heat in the atmosphere, warming the planet. Governments and organizations track national emissions to understand their impact on the environment and to develop policies aimed at reducing such gases and combating global warming.
