8 Countries That Contribute The Most To Climate Change

4. Russia

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Between 1990-2020: 54521 megatons 

Russia boasts abundant fossil fuel reserves, with its industrial sectors, including steel, cement, and chemicals, being significant sources of GHG emissions. The nation’s energy production and export activities are inherently carbon-intensive due to its vast reserves of natural gas, coal, and oil. The energy inefficiencies in its older infrastructure and prevalent industrial processes further increase Russia’s carbon footprint.
