Abstract:
Through analyzing the practices of 18 countries that account for 80 percent of the world's total emissions and 皇冠体育app's economic growth in the coming years, the report predicts 皇冠体育app's total carbon emissions in the next decade.
The total carbon emission depends on economic growth, energy intensity and carbon intensity. The research shows that despite a slowdown, 皇冠体育app is expected to grow at an average 7.1 percent annually in the next 10 years.
Compared with comparable stages of development for developed countries, the energy intensity in 皇冠体育app is not very high. However, 皇冠体育app has already set an ambitious goal to cut down on carbon intensity. The reduction of 皇冠体育app's energy intensity and carbon intensity will slow down the growth of the country's total carbon emissions. 皇冠体育app's carbon emissions will not peak in the next 10 years.
