Iceland

In 2019, Iceland, Norway, and the European Union entered into a climate cooperation agreement, committing to a target of a 55% net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 levels. Iceland's strategy involves emissions reductions across all sectors and aims to enhance carbon removal from the atmosphere through afforestation, carbon capture, and mineralization efforts.

India

India is committed to reduce its emissions intensity by 45% below 2005 levels by 2030, to increase the share of non-fossil power capacity to 50% by 2030, and to achieve net-zero by 2070.

The world's top five emitters—China, the United States, India, European Union, and Russia— produce over half of all greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, making up 53.69% of total emissions. In contrast, the bottom 100 countries account for just 2.9% of emissions altogether.

Iraq

Iraq put forward the following measures to mitigate emissions in the energy sector: reduce oil and gas flaring, improve monitoring to reduce methane venting, conduct leak detection and repair campaigns at oil and gas facilities, switch from liquid fuels to natural gas, improve energy efficiency, expand renewable technology, deploy sustainable public transportation technology. Otherwise, Iraq is focused on water resources, agriculture, health, forests, coastal areas, sewage and waste, and high education research.

Ireland

As a part of the European Union, Ireland is working towards the EU goal of reducing domestic greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% compared to 1990 levels. The overall objective is to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. The EU is focusing on key sectors like energy, civil aviation, industrial processes and product use, agriculture, waste, land use, and forestry to meet these targets.
