What is the main source of greenhouse gas emissions in Pakistan?

Correct answer: Energy sector. The energy sector (fuel burning for power, industry, and transport) is Pakistan’s largest source of greenhouse gas emissions.

Background: Burning coal, oil, and gas for electricity, industry, and transport releases carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas.

• Deforestation: Deforestation contributes, but less than the energy sector.
• Glaciers: Glaciers do not emit greenhouse gases.
• Vehicles: Vehicles are only one part of the energy sector.

Did you know? Pakistan contributes less than 1% of global emissions but is among the countries most vulnerable to climate change.

Memory trick: Burn fuel → CO₂ → Energy sector.
