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.

This accelerating pace brings ambitious climate targets closer, but continued rapid progress is still needed to meet the Paris Agreement’s 1.5C

A new study finds that the growth of carbon production from Chinese exports has slowed or reversed, reflecting a “new phase of globalization” between developing countries that could undermine international efforts to reduce emissions. The paper is published in Nature Communications. trillion) in 2014.

Global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions were flat for a third straight year in 2016 even as the global economy grew, according to the International Energy Agency. Global emissions from the energy sector stood at 32.1 The data signal a continuing decoupling of emissions and economic activity.

OCTOBER 21, 2017

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.

The global natural gas vehicle fleet has grown rapidly in the last 10 years, but still represents less than 1% of global transport fuel consumption. The global fleet of NGVs consists largely of passenger cars/LDVs, although there are some regional differences. Tags: Climate Change Emissions Heavy-duty Natural Gas.

UN Environment report says national GHG pledges only bring one-third of reductions needed for Paris Agreement

The Paris Agreement looks to limit global warming to under 2 ˚C, with a more ambitious goal of 1.5 ˚C If the emissions gap is not closed by 2030, the report says, it is extremely unlikely that the goal of holding global warming to well below 2 ˚C can still be reached. C also on the table. C will already be well depleted by 2030.
