In 2012 and 2013, emissions increased by 2%, about 50% slower than in the ten years before, when the annual increase was 3.8% on average (excluding the credit crunch years 2008 and 2009).
The slowdown in the increase in global CO2 emissions started in 2012 and continued in 2013. The main reason is the lower increase of emissions in China in these years.
In 2013, the CO2 emissions in the United states increased, after several years of decrease; emissions in Europe (EU28) further declined.
The United States, the EU and China together with India and Russia, emit 66% of the world's total CO2.
