🌏 US Hosted 15% of Global International Students in 2022

International students globally have quadrupled since 2000, reaching 6.4 million learners in 2022. The US was the top host destination in 2022, attracting nearly 950K international students, according to UNSECO data. The United Kingdom, Canada, France, and Australia were also among the top destinations, hosting a combined 31% of all international students. This growth reflects the increasing globalization in education and the growing demand for cross-cultural learning experiences.

🌱 >2x Global Energy-Related CO₂ Emissions Increase

Global CO₂ emissions related to energy have more than doubled since 1975. Emissions have risen from nearly 16B tons in 1975 to approximately 36B tons in 2023. This increase shows the growing energy consumption and the corresponding rise in carbon emissions over the past decades, indicating the importance of the global transition to clean energy.
