They also promised to work closely together to promote an effective solution to the problem of aviation and shipping emissions, and consider further ways to cooperate in carbon emissions trading.
|
|
An inventory of greenhouse gas emissions completed earlier this year showed that 67 percent of the city's emissions are produced by buildings, through energy used for heating, cooling and electricity.
|
|
Martin Weitzman of Harvard University supports the idea of a uniform worldwide tax on carbon emissions, which might be easier to agree on than a panoply of national emissions cuts.
|
|
Transportation now accounts for one-third of America's carbon-dioxide emissions, surpassing power plants as the largest source, and vehicle emissions have been steadily rising over the past few years.

|
|
But Paarup Michelsen said this saving is not significant when considering the bigger picture, because emissions from production account for only 5% of total emissions from the global oil industry.

|
Cutting those emissions - and emissions from shipping - is particularly challenging because their mobile nature makes it harder for companies to use clean energy sources such as solar or wind power.
|

Chinese carbon experts said any fall in emissions in 20303 would be mainly due to a slowdown in China's economy, and it was unlikely that emissions had peaked so early.
