That's wrong. I'm not sure why I'm replying as truth seems be to first casualty in culture wars, but the only two that matter in that list are China and India due to their population.
China: President Xi announced that China would reach its carbon emissions peak before 2030 and become “carbon neutral” before 2060. https://interactive.carbonbrief.org/the-carbon-brief-profile-china/ https://interactive.carbonbrief.org/the-carbon-brief-profile...
India: Reduce the carbon intensity of its economy by at least 45 percent by 2030 compared to 2005 levels. Achieve the target of net zero by 2070. https://www.energypolicy.columbia.edu/publications/assessing-india-s-ambitious-climate-commitments/ https://www.energypolicy.columbia.edu/publications/assessing...
Most countries have announced feel good emissions targets. It's a great way to generate political feel good's, and talk is cheap.
