Gloomy GECF emissions forecast overshadows IEA’s surprise 2019 pause in CO2

摘要

Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions remained unchanged last year, according to the Paris- based International Energy Agency (IEA), which today called for 2019 to be the “definitive peak” for global emissions growth. However, the Global Gas Outlook 2050, published yesterday by the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF), offered a sobering forecast that current policies designed to cut carbon emissions will leave the world a long way short of achieving Paris agreement targets designed to avoid catastrophic climate change.
