Carbon_dioxide_emissions_from_fuel_combustion_of_Annex_I_Kyoto_Protocol_Parties_1990-2009.png
Summary
| Description |
English:
This graph shows the
carbon dioxide
(CO
2
) emissions from fuel combustion of
Annex I
Kyoto Protocol
Parties between 1990 and 2009. The 2008-2012 Kyoto target is also plotted. The graph is based on data from the
International Energy Agency
(IEA, 2011). The Kyoto target is calculated as a percentage of 1990 CO
2
emissions from fuel combustion only. It therefore does not represent the total target for the six-gas basket (see
Kyoto Protocol
for details). The target as presented here assumes that the reduction targets are spread equally across all gases (IEA, 2011).
The graph shows that the emissions of Annex I Kyoto Protocol (KP) Parties have been uneven between 1990 and 2009. In 1990, emissions were about 8,800 million tonnes (Mt) CO
2
, declined then stabilized over the 1990s, grew slowly in the 2000s, reaching about 8,100 MtCO
2
in 2007, then fell to about 7,500 MtCO
2
in 2009. Emissions in 2008 and 2009 were below the Kyoto target of about 8,400 MtCO
2
, which applies between 2008-2012.
For Annex I "
Economies in Transition
" (EIT) KP Parties (i.e., the former economies of the
Soviet Union
), emissions declined between 1990-1999 (1990 emissions = about 4,000 MtCO
2
; 1999 emissions = about 2,500 MtCO
2
), grew slowly up to 2007 (2007 emissions = about 2,700 MtCO
2
), and then declined in 2009 (about 2,500 MtCO
2
).
For Annex II KP Parties (i.e., Annex I KP Parties minus the EIT KP Parties), emissions in 1990 were about 4,800 MtCO
2
, gradually increased and peaked around 2004 (about 5,500 MtCO
2
), before falling to about 5,000 MtCO
2
in 2009.
