Trends in global CO2 emissions: 2013 report

The Trends in global CO2 emissions: 2013 report finds that global emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) reached a new record in 2012, but the increase in global CO2 emissions in that year slowed down to less than half the average annual increase over the last decade. The report authors conclude that this development signals a shift towards less fossil-fuel-intensive activities, more use of renewable energy and increased energy saving.
