Global CO2 emissions stalled for the third year in a row

Green Car Congress

OCTOBER 21, 2017

Emissions from international transport (aviation and shipping) contribute another 3% to the total global GHG emissions. Also in Eurasia emissions grew in Turkey (5%) and Ukraine (8%). India does not show yet any decoupling of their emissions growth from their economic growth, unlike Brazil, where emissions fell by 6%.
