    The climate mitigation targets proposed by India, China, EU-27, and USA are converted into their estimated total emissions and per capita emission in 2020. US is the highest emitter with 16.2 T/yr/person followed by China with 10 T and EU-27 with 7.3 T, while India would emit 2.8 T. The USA and China will be emitting 5.6 and 13.7 GT, while world should not exceed 45 GT of emissions. Published in March 2010.
