The given chart illustrates how much carbon dioxide was released in 5 areas between 2000 and 2020 and the predicted amount up to the year 2040.
Overall, it is evident that Region 1 had the highest level at CO2 emissions among the 5 regions while the lowest figure belonged to Region 5. In addition, Region 3 and Region 4 underwent an upward trend over the given time.
In 2000, CO2 emissions in Region 1 stood at 8 million metric tonnes, followed by Region 2 with 6 million metric tonnes. The year 2010 witnesed a significant increase in the figure for Region 1, which reached a peak of more than 9 million before decreasing quickly to 7 million in 2020. During this period, there was a slight fluctuation in the amount of this greenhouse gases. According to current prediction Region 1 will cut down ita CO2 level to about 7 million metric tonnes in 2040, while there were no significant changes in the future for Region 2.
During the first 20 years of the period, Region 5 hovered between 1 and 2 million metric tonnes, keeping it the lowest number of CO emissions. Region 3 initially fell from 4 million to 3 million metric tonnes in 2005, then climbed to 5 million metric tonnes. Region 4, on the other hand, remained at around 3 million metric tonnes for the first decade. In the last 2 decades, Region 5 will likely maintain its low-emission status, fluctuating around 2 million metric tonnes
