Energy-related carbon dioxide emissions rose to a record level in 2023, but the growth slowed from previous years thanks to continued expansion of clean technologies, the International Energy Agency said Friday.
CO2 emissions from energy rose by 1.1 percent in 2023, increasing by 410 million tons to a record 37.4 billion tons, slowing down from a gain of 490 million tons in 2022, the IEA said in its annual update on emissions.
