🌱 China Made Up Nearly 30% of Global GHG Emissions, Nearly 3x the US
In 2022, China was responsible for nearly 30% of the world’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, making it the largest emitter globally. This amount is almost three times that of the United States, which ranks second. China's rapid industrial growth and heavy reliance on coal for energy are key factors driving its high emissions levels.
✨ Satellites and Launch Vehicles Comprised 65% of Japan’s Space Revenue in 2021
In 2021, satellites and launch vehicles comprised 65% of Japan's space industry revenue, with satellites contributing nearly 40% alone. This is due to Japan's strong focus on satellite development for communication, weather monitoring, and earth observation. The significant investment in launch vehicles further supports Japan's strategic position in the global space industry.
