Just 25 'mega-cities' produce 52 per cent of the world's urban greenhouse gas emissions — and 23 of them are in China
• Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University recorded the emissions of 167 cities
• The largest carbon emitters were found to be Asian megacities like Shanghai
• Cities in Europe and the US emit more than those in most developing countries
• Of 42 cities with data spanning 2012–2016, 30 showed emissions reductions
• Yet the team warned we are not on track to meet global climate change targets
