Plus 2 % d’émissions de CO₂ en 2018, une tendance qui s’installe pour 2019

La demande énergétique en hausse est l’un des facteurs explicatifs de cette tendance.

Fossil fuel emissions hit record high after unexpected growth: Global Carbon Budget 2017

After three years in which global carbon emissions scarcely rose, 2017 has seen them climb by 2%, as the long-anticipated peak in global emissions remains elusive.

We can still keep global warming below 2°C – but the hard work is about to start

Global emissions from fossil fuels have stalled. That puts us in the right place to keep warming below 2°C, but there’s plenty of work still to be done.

Fossil fuel emissions have stalled: Global Carbon Budget 2016

For three years, carbon emissions from fossil fuels have grown little or not at all, opening a window of opportunity to halt climate change.
