???? 據ICIS網站3月2日消息 國際能源署（IEA）周二表示，由于第二季度的停工導致的平靜，2020年全球二氧化碳（CO2）排放量同比下降，但到12月，這一數字已經比2019年同期高出2%。
????各國缺乏清潔能源政策的情況由于經濟從第一波新冠疫情中復蘇而變得更為嚴重。溫室氣體排放（GHGs）主要受傳統化石燃料推動，二氧化碳就是其中之一。
????IEA表示，2020年全球與能源相關的二氧化碳排放量同比下降5.8%，這是自第二次世界大戰以來最大的年度百分比下降。
????IEA表示：“從絕對值來看，近20億噸二氧化碳排放量的下降在人類歷史上是沒有先例的，從廣義上講，這相當于將歐盟的所有排放量從全球總量中剔除。”
????但總部設在巴黎的該機構表示，到12月觀察到的反彈，以及許多國家的排放量已經達到疫情前的水平，是一個令人擔憂的跡象。
????IEA執行主任法蒂赫·比羅爾說：“去年年底全球碳排放量的反彈是一個嚴峻的警告，表明在加速全球清潔能源轉型方面做得還不夠。”
????“如果各國政府不迅速采取正確的能源政策，這可能會危及世界的歷史機遇，使2019年成為全球排放量的最終峰值。”
????“如果目前對今年全球經濟反彈的預期得到證實，并且在全球最大經濟體沒有重大政策變化的情況下，2021年全球排放量可能會增加。”
????IEA的警告將使人們對2019年是排放高峰年的希望面臨風險；排放量的下降付出了巨大的社會和經濟代價，盡管有人談論疫情后的綠色復蘇，但化石燃料的使用可能在2020年代仍占主導地位，排放量可能尚未達到峰值。

????Global CO2 emissions fall in 2020 but recovery causing rapid rebound - IEA
????Global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions were lower in 2020 year on year due to the lockdowns-induced lull in the second quarter, but by December they were already 2% higher than in the same month of 2019, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said on Tuesday.
????Countries’ lack of clean energy policies was compounded by the economic recovery from the first wave of the pandemic, which has been powered by the traditional fossil fuels that emit greenhouse gases (GHGs) causing global warming; CO2 is one of them.
????The IEA said global energy-related CO2 emissions fell by 5.8% in 2020, year on year, the largest annual percentage decline since the Second World War.
????“In absolute terms, the decline in emissions of almost 2,000m tonnes of CO2 is without precedent in human history – broadly speaking, this is the equivalent of removing all of the EU’s emissions from the global total,” said the IEA.
????But the rebound observed by December, and the fact that many countries’ emissions have already reached pre-pandemic levels, was a worrying sign, said the Paris-based Agency.
????"The rebound in global carbon emissions toward the end of last year is a stark warning that not enough is being done to accelerate clean energy transitions worldwide,” said Fatih Birol, the IEA’s executive director.
????“If governments don’t move quickly with the right energy policies, this could put at risk the world’s historic opportunity to make 2019 the definitive peak in global emissions.
????“If current expectations for a global economic rebound this year are confirmed – and in the absence of major policy changes in the world’s largest economies – global emissions are likely to increase in 2021."
????The IEA's warning will put at risk hopes that 2019 was the peak year for emissions; the drop in emissions came at a huge social and economic cost and, despite talk of a green recovery post-pandemic, fossil fuels use is likely to be still dominant in the 2020s, with emissions possibly yet to peak.
