    MDCs, or more developed countries, are responsible for the majority of historical carbon emissions according to an analysis by The New York Times. Research shows that approximately 71% of CO2 emissions can be traced to 100 fossil fuel producers located primarily in MDCs since 1988. While MDCs account for only 23% of the global population, they consume 80% of the world's energy resources and account for half of global wealth, giving them greater ability to address climate change compared to less developed countries.

    MDCs

    A New York Times analysis found that 23 industrialized countries are responsible for 50% of all historical
    emissions and more than 150 countries are responsible for the rest. In 23 industrialized countries, all of
    them are MDCs. Which shows they have the main responsibility of CO2 emissions.

    Researches show that fossil fuel is the main source of carbon emission. Research shows that
    approximately 71% of CO2 emissions can be traced to 100 fossil fuel producers since 1988. Almost all of
    them are located in the MDCs.

    MDCs have a larger share of the world’s wealth and resources. Research shows MDCs account half of the
    world’s wealth. With more wealth, they have greater ability to take action on climate change than LDCs.

    MDCs account 23% of the population in the world, but MDCs consume 80% of the world’s energy
    resources

    Although LDCs account most of the population,most of them are unindustrialized and only emit very less
    amount of GHGS
