Скачать или смотреть Climate Progress: Decoupling Emissions and Economic Growth

A new study by researchers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and the University of Potsdam reveals that 30% of global regions are successfully reducing carbon emissions while maintaining economic growth. This positive trend is attributed to national climate actions and subnational initiatives like city climate plans and financial support for green initiatives. Europe leads in decoupling emissions from economic growth, particularly in regions with high incomes, service-based economies, and strong climate action implementation. However, the current pace of decoupling is insufficient to meet global climate targets. Most regions need to significantly accelerate their efforts to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, with developed countries playing a crucial role in supporting developing nations in their energy transition.
