Australia's adoption of a net zero emissions target is significant as it is one of the largest producers and exporters of fossil fuels and falling in line with the UN mandated net zero pledge would signal there could be tighter regulations on emissions reduction.

Global energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions will increase for countries both inside and outside of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) over the next 30 years under current laws and regulations.

Speaking to the conference on 13 October, Putin said, "Russia will take practical action to ensure the carbon neutrality of its economy, and we have set a specific benchmark: no later than 2060."

The United Kingdom pledged to reach net-zero emissions by 2050 in 2019.

To reach this 21% reduction goal, Turkey plans to raise its solar capacity to 10 GW and its wind capacity to 16 GW by 2030.

Japan’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions decreased by 2.9% in the financial year 2019-2020

In 2016, fuel combustion activities accounted for 95% of Kuwait total GHG emissions (86 MtCO2eq),

Germany will now aim for a 65% cut in carbon emissions by 2030 and net zero by 2045, up from a previous 55% for 2030 and net zero by 2050.

According to preliminary data released by the Federal Environment Agency (UBA), Germany’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions decreased by 8.7% in 2020 to 739 MtCO2eq, corresponding to a 40.8% fall since 1990.

The United Kingdom already aims to reduce GHG emissions in 2030 by 68% (excluding IAS) compared to 1990 levels. In June 2019, the country pledged to reach net zero emission by 2050.
