TRENDS IN GLOBAL CO2 AND TOTAL GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS

Global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have increased, on average, by 1.1% per year, from 2012 to 2019, which is a markedly lower growth rate than those seen in the first decade of this century (2.6%, on average). In 2019, the increased in global greenhouse gas emissions was 1.1%, half the increase in 2018, reaching 52.4 gigatonnes in CO2 equivalent (GtCO2 eq), excluding land-use change. This is the only report that provides estimations of all recent global greenhouse gas emissions (not only CO2).
