....China is also decarbonizing far faster than other large powers despite also increasing its middle class prosperity immensely...a very difficult task and the pace impossible in the inherently high red tape democracies.
India is still very poor so it's not a currently a major contributor at 7% total of world emissions and a very low 1.9 co2 tons per capita. India can frog jump to a new economy without a grid and has immense solar resources plus some nuclear.
France, Canada and Norway have nuclear or hydro investments made decades ago that paid off in lower carbon footprints and both France and Norway make additional headway as does Euro as a whole ....Putin be damned.
....Australia could be and to some degree is moving to low carbon power but could be far faster very easily. S Australia certainly showing the way.
The US is a mixed bag of lots of carbon neutral progress against dug in resistance and high emissions per capita.
Canada lags tho Ontario and Quebec are essentially carbon neutral for power thanks to Ontario eliminating coal in a single decade and represents 40% of the 15th-largest GDP by PPP in the world but still regretably high emissions per person. Quebecs Hydro resources are immense and it represents 20% of Canada GDP.
Failing a breakthrough in massive carbon capture staying under 2.0 by turn of the century is a pipe dream ....we have made our collective bed.
