![]() ![]() Non-Annex I countries still rely heavily on carbon-intensive energies, with 2/3 of their primary energy mix arising from coal (34%) and oil (31%, 2017), and past trend hardly shows improvement (oil 37%, coal 26% as of 2000). The decoupling of economic growth and emissions (as well as energy consumption) is therefore a crucial issue for these countries. Since 1990, GHG emissions in Non-Annex I countries have increase by 2.8%/year on average, showing an accelerating trend since 2000: +3.3%/year.ĭespite a significant economic growth (+1.9%/year on average over 2000-2017), GHG emissions have continued to increase at an even faster rate, leading to a growing carbon intensity over the period. The challenge of decarbonisation for fast-growing economies This reflects among other the larger contribution of the LULUCF, agriculture and waste sectors in Non-Annex I countries. However, the share of Non-Annex I countries in CH 4 and N 2O emissions is much higher, with respectively nearly 80% and more than 90%. The role of Non-Annex I countries in issues related to GHG emissions is often underestimated, and the efforts and challenges they have to face with are quite specific but will be central in the transition towards a decarbonised world.ĬO 2 is still representing 75% of GHG global emissions, and nearly 2/3 of these CO 2 emissions arise from Non-Annex I countries (as of 2017). Yet, this step towards a global response to climate change is often discussed under the prism of mitigation commitments from “developed” countries (with the exception of China). Countries are progressively publishing their 2 nd NDC. The COP-26, which will take place this year, is an awaited moment as it is the first planned 5-year revision of NDCs and could therefore be the opportunity to strengthen climate commitments, especially in a context where current NDCs have been assessed as insufficient to reach the 2☌ target. As of 2021, 191 members of the UNFCCC (from 197*) have ratified the agreement. ![]() The signatory parties committed to publish intended “nationally determined contributions” (NDCs) in fight against climate change. In December 2015, the Paris Agreement was adopted and set a worldwide common goal to limit temperature increase to +2/1.5☌. ![]()
