The latest analysis from the Climate Action Tracker indicates that CO2 emissions may, in fact, already have stopped increasing and reached peak levels.

In late 2014, China pledged to peak its CO2 emissions by 2030, and achieve 20 percent of its primary energy from non-fossil energy sources.

-- Keep global warming below 2oC, implying a peak in global CO2 emissions no later than 2015 and recognise that even a warming of 2oC carries a very high risk of serious impacts and the need for major adaptation efforts.

Asia Sentinel: The world faces another 17 years of potentially growing emissions from China's industries Despite having become the world's biggest emitter of greenhouse gases nearly two years ago, China is at least another 17 years away from peak emissions, according to a new report by the HSBC Climate Change Team, issued late last year.

Then consider that, if the 350 pathway is defined to have a global peak that's a mere four years later — if emissions continue to rise until 2015 — then the subsequent decline would have to reach a nearly unimaginable rate of 20 % per year.

To understand emissions reductions necessary to have a good chance of limiting warming to 2 °C, the climate community has focused largely on emissions pathways — that is, when greenhouse gas emissions peak and the rate at which they must decline (e.g. peak sooner and then reduce less steeply versus peak later and then reduce more steeply).

Even if the world can break its addiction to fossil fuels and peak carbon emissions soon, it could still be too late to prevent devastating climate change.

As previously discussed by Carbon Brief, the later that global emissions peak the more rapid the reductions must be to limit warming to 2C.

As the emission of ALM peaks and then declines later than that of ASIA, emission trajectories diverge strongly in the second half of the 21st century.

The relationship between cumulative emissions and peak warming allows us to show how delaying mitigation in the short term creates the need for more rapid emission reductions later, in order to stay below a given cumulative emissions limit.

Consumption of HFCs are projected to peak in the late 2020s, but emissions don't peak until about 2035.

China's prime minister has announced the government would take actions to peak the country's carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 or sooner, doubling down on a promise he made with U.S. President Barack Obama late last year.

The later the peak occurs, the more difficult it will be for China to comply with the emissions budget.

For that to happen, says the Tyndall Centre's Kevin Anderson, «global emissions from energy need to reach a peak by around 2020, and then rapidly reduce to zero by 2050 at the latest.»

A group out of MIT finds that if China enforces existing policy, reaching peak emissions no later than 2030, the result will be nearly 100,000 premature deaths avoided, several hundred billion dollars of economic savings, and a net benefit / cost ratio of four to one.

Research suggests that to have a likely chance of cost - effectively meeting the 2 °C limit, global emissions need to peak by 2020 at the latest.
