Table summarizing the countries with national decarbonization strategies according to specific categories. Green energy refers to greener electricity and buildings (on low carbon and energy), LED lighting/solar energy, and cleaner vehicles with sustainable fuels. Green economy refers to planned or are planning to implement taxes on carbon and converge more to greener finance, production and job creations as well as developing sustainable tourism. Green living refers to naturalized infrastructures providing shade or promoting better air quality and water conservation through waste management and commutes.
