“The pie chart shows global greenhouse gas emissions by sector in 2020.”Model answer
151 wordsP1The pie chart illustrates the breakdown of global greenhouse gas emissions by sector in 2020.
P2Overall, the energy sector was by far the largest contributor, while buildings represented the smallest share. Together, energy and industry accounted for more than half of all emissions.
P3Energy was the dominant sector, responsible for 34% of total greenhouse gas output. Industry followed as the second largest source, making up 24%, so these two sectors combined contributed 58% of global emissions. Agriculture represented 18% and transport accounted for a further 16%, meaning that these two mid-range sectors together made up just over a third of the total.
P4By contrast, buildings represented the smallest proportion at just 8%. It is also notable that agriculture and transport, though distinct activities, were remarkably close in their contributions, differing by only two percentage points, while the gap between the largest sector, energy, and the smallest, buildings, was 26 percentage points.
