Data and statistical analysis in the Asia and Pacific region contributes to knowledge generation in ADB, helping strengthen its institutional priorities and operational effectiveness in its developing member countries.
Asia’s Special Stake in the Global Climate Crisis
Asia accounts for an increasing share of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Although historical emissions from developing Asia were low, they have been growing faster than the global average. The region’s share of global GHG emissions doubled from 22% in 1990 to 44% in 2019 and is expected to remain at this share until mid-century under current policies. At current levels of GHG emissions, the region would by itself exhaust the remaining global carbon budget consistent with limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (°C) by 2040.
Global Annual Greenhouse Gas Emissions, 1990–2019
Note: Emissions from land use change and forestry, which can be positive or negative, are included. Developing Asia includes all ADB member economies except for Hong Kong, China; and Taipei,China for lack of data.
