JANUARY 16, 2012

Countries such as China, India and Brazil, which have no Arctic territories, are now seeking admission to the Arctic Council as permanent observers. The issue has divided existing members, with Russia and Canada most strongly opposed. Canada and Russia are the strongest opponents of expansion.

IEA finds CO2 emissions flat for third straight year even as global economy grew in 2016

This was the result of growing renewable power generation, switches from coal to natural gas, improvements in energy efficiency, as well as structural changes in the global economy. The decline was driven by a surge in shale gas supplies and more attractive renewable power that displaced coal.

Emissions from OECD countries now account for only one third of global CO 2 emissions—the same share as that of China and India. In China, the world’s most populous country, average emissions of CO 2 increased by 9% to 7.2 Since 2002, annual economic growth in China accelerated from 4% to 11%, on average. India (6%).

Over the period 1990-2010, in the EU-27 and Russia CO 2 emissions decreased by 7% and 28% respectively, while the USA’s emissions increased by 5% and the Japanese emissions remained more or less constant. Most major economies contributed to this increase, led by China, USA, India and EU-27 with increases of 10%, 4%, 9% and 3% respectively.

China consolidates its position as the world’s largest energy consumer: it consumes nearly 70% more energy than the United States by 2035, even though, by then, per capita demand in China is still less than half the level in the United States. However, we assume little change in vehicle usage patterns over the Outlook period.
