Global greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise at a time when they need to be reduced rapidly. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to analyze their origins, i.e. which sectors contribute most to climate change. From this analysis, it is possible to identify opportunities for improvement and develop effective solutions and mitigation strategies to reduce GHG emissions.
The order of the sectors that have the greatest impact in this area varies from country to country: in Portugal, the sector that emits the most GHGs is Transport, while in Brazil, for example, it is the Agricultural sector. It is therefore important to adapt decarbonization measures to the characteristics of each country.
