The line graph delineates the volume of CO2 released by five distinct areas between 2000 and 2040, and the anticipations until the year 2040.
Overall, it is clear that all the regions witness varying trends, with a decrease in region 1, moderate increases in regions 3 and 4 and mild fluctuation in the two other regions. Furthermore, region 1 produces a large amount of co2, but the opposite is true for region 5.
Looking at the graph in more detail, it is evident that in 2000 region 1 produced a significant output of CO2 , at 8 millions tons (MT), making it the biggest producer at the time. In stark contrast, regions 3 and 4 emitted comparative low CO2, standing at 4 MT and nearly 3 MT respectively. In the subsequent two decades, although there was a marginal fall to approximately 7,5 MT in region 1, it still topped the list. The CO2 emissions of region 3 experienced a slight rise to about 5 MT in the year 2020. Remarkably, region 4 almost mirrored that trend, albeit at a lower level, with 5 MT of CO2.
As far as region 1 is concerned, the anticipation shows that there will be a moderate decline to 7 MT in the amount of CO2 at the end of the timeframe. In terms of region 3 and 4’s CO2 emissions, they are forecast to grow slowly to 6 and 5 MT correspondingly in 2040. Strikingly, the expectation indicates that at the end of the period, those of region 2 and 5 will experience the same trend. The former region, however, is forecast to experience a slight oscillation, ranging around 6 MT in the subsequent 4 decades. Notably, the latter region tends to follow this trend, hovering between about 1MT and 2MT, remaining the lowest CO2 contributor.
