IEA: global carbon dioxide emissions have rebounded strongly

Green Car Congress

The Covid-19 crisis in 2020 triggered the largest annual drop in global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions since the Second World War, according to IEA data, but the overall decline of about 6% masks wide variations depending on the region and the time of year. Many economies are now seeing emissions climbing above pre-crisis levels.

IRENA, IEA study concludes meeting 2?C scenario possible with net positive economics

Green Car Congress

Global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by 70% by 2050 and completely phased-out by 2060 with a net positive economic outlook, according to new findings released by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) and the International Energy Agency (IEA). This means reducing energy CO 2 emissions by 2.6%
