Trends in energy-related CO2 emissions continue to be bound closely to those of the global
economy (Figure 1.12), with the few declines observed in the last 40 years being associated
with events suc...
h as the oil price crises of the 1970s and the recent global recession. The
carbon intensity of the economy has generally improved over time (GDP growth typically
exceeds growth in CO2 emissions), but the last decade has seen energy demand growth
accelerate and the rate of decarbonisation on slow - mainly linked to growth in fossil-fuel
demand in developing countries.
