Abstract
Emission of GHGs has a huge significance on global climate change regardless of where has it been emitted. Therefore, having knowledge on from where did GHGs come from, and what are the main sources is very important in order to share the responsibility to cope with climate change. Therefore, this chapter provides the information on historical trends of emissions for major emitting countries and the contribution by different sectors on total emissions over time.
