Global CO2 emissions stalled for the third year in a row

Green Car Congress

The annual assessment of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by the JRC and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) confirms that CO 2 emissions have stalled for the third year in a row. Emissions from international transport (aviation and shipping) contribute another 3% to the total global GHG emissions.

Proportion of lifecycle CO 2 e emissions for future cars 2020-2030. The main conclusions of that study were that future CO 2 e metrics for passenger cars need to go “beyond the tailpipe” and take account of whole life cycle CO 2 e emissions to more fully account for environmental impacts.
