It is estimated that developed countries are responsible for over three quarters of total GHG emissions (United Nations, 2009a). As figure I.4 illustrates, developing countries still account for a very small proportion of emissions in per capita terms.
Residential and commercial buildings 8%
Energy supply 26% Transport 13% Source: Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (2007a).
