A data-driven overview of our changing climate
This table projects the potential benefits of meeting the recommended targets. It highlights the estimated annual reduction in CO₂ emissions, job creation, and economic benefits—all reflecting the critical role of aggressive carbon capture alongside a renewable energy shift.
| Country | Annual CO₂ Reduction (Gt) | Jobs Created (Millions) | Economic Benefit (USD Billion) |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States | 0.5 Gt | 2.0 | $500 Billion (Estimated) |
| China | 0.6 Gt | 2.5 | $600 Billion (Estimated) |
| Germany | 0.3 Gt | 1.0 | $300 Billion (Estimated) |
| India | 0.4 Gt | 1.5 | $400 Billion (Estimated) |
Achieving these targets—including robust investments in aggressive carbon capture—is vital for preventing the most vulnerable tipping points (permafrost thaw, coral reef collapse, and Arctic sea ice loss) and for paving the way toward a clean, sustainable global economy.
