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.

—Dabo Guan, professor in climate change economics at UEA’s School of International Development and co-author on both studies. 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.

The report also covers an assessment of the potential contribution from reductions in short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs). This has raised hopes that emissions have peaked, as they must by 2020 to remain on a successful climate trajectory. These six present a combined poten al of up to 22 GtCO 2 e per annum.

Ember’s analysis also finds that solar capacity additions in 2024 will likely surpass the entire global increase – 540 GW – in coal power capacity since 2010. This accelerating pace brings ambitious climate targets closer, but continued rapid progress is still needed to meet the Paris Agreement’s 1.5C

Circle areas are proportional to values for (A and B) climate change, (C and D) human health (values for population over age 30), and (E and F) agriculture. Their potential climate impact was assessed by using published global warming potential (GWP) values for each pollutant affected. Source: Shindell et al. Click to enlarge.

Emissions are increasing in other developing countries: 6% for Indonesia and Malaysia; 9% for Pakistan and 12% for the Philippines. CH 4 is mainly generated by agricultural activities, the production of coal and gas, as well as waste treatment and disposal. Also in Eurasia emissions grew in Turkey (5%) and Ukraine (8%).
