Territorial emissions include all emissions within that country.
Net trade emissions include the emissions of goods produced overseas and imported into the country.
Now include the emission of the items produced abroad to green wash western economies.
Should also include per capita emissions not just their variation. France has seen smaller falls than the US, Germany or the UK, but already had smaller per capita emissions in the 90s.
Not many countries change that as much as Switzerland if you are including consumption: from 4t to 14t.
They have outsourced successfully all their dirty stuff.
That seems… good?
If I remember one of the other charts posted here correctly the per-capita net emissions for the UK were something like 8 tonnes.
So we’re down from 11 to 8 in 10 years? And not from exporting the emissions either, actual reduction in net emissions that I’m responsible for. That feels promising for a halving by 2030 and net zero by 2050.
