Pakistan will witness a huge rise in electric vehicles adoption. The government of Pakistan is preparing for a new shift in the local automotive industry. After the introduction of the EV policy for two-wheelers and three-wheelers, electric bikes, rickshaws, and small commercial vehicles are becoming a norm in Pakistan.

The overall increase in the world’s nuclear net capacity last year was the highest since 1993, with new reactors coming online in China, the United States, South Korea, India, Russia and Pakistan. Coal demand fell worldwide but the drop was particularly sharp in the United States, where demand was down 11% in 2016.

The success of international climate mitigation efforts may therefore depend on curtailing growth of coal-based energy and emissions in now-industrialising and urbanising countries.

Emissions are increasing in other developing countries: 6% for Indonesia and Malaysia; 9% for Pakistan and 12% for the Philippines. India does not show yet any decoupling of their emissions growth from their economic growth, unlike Brazil, where emissions fell by 6%. Also in Eurasia emissions grew in Turkey (5%) and Ukraine (8%).
