Emissions are projected to ease by 0.4% from the previous year’s record level to 38.2 billion metric tonnes of carbon dioxide, the Global Carbon Project said.
Scientists who contributed to the report said that renewable energy deployment needed to accelerate to send carbon emissions into more definite decline.
