The G20, which includes the world's major energy producers and consumers, plays a key role in driving the global transition to clean energy.

In 2023, G20 members (excluding the African Union) accounted for 77 percent of global emissions. Including the African Union in the G20, which expands the number of countries represented from 44 to 99, raises the total to 82 percent of emissions. This limited increase highlights the need for differentiated responsibilities, with G20 leadership – especially from major economies and emitters – essential to meaningful progress.

G20 members have set targets for net-zero emissions. China, for example, aims to peak emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. The visualized data highlights members' peak emission year and their declared net-zero goals.
