THE BIG PICTURE: GHG Reduction Pledges
Ahead of the climate summit in Paris last December, 187 countries submitted intended nationally determined contributions
(INDCs), setting out how far they will go to slash their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Here's what the world's
top 10 GHG emitters pledged. The green bar corresponds with each country's share of the world's GHG emissions in 2012.
