The Norwegian government established CICERO (the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research – Oslo) by royal decree in 1990. CICERO is an independent research center associated with the University of Oslo.
CICERO conducts research on and provides information and expert advice about national and international issues related to climate change and climate policy.
The pandemic, along with other recent trends such as the shift towards clean energy, have placed us at a crossroad: the choices we make today can change the course of global emissions.
New research reveals which sectors of the global economy fuelled the emissions decline during COVID-19. We have a narrow window of time to make the change permanent.
Una nueva investigación analiza los sectores económicos responsables de la caída global de emisiones debida a la COVID-19. Tenemos una pequeño margen de tiempo para hacer el cambio permanente.

Dengan makin banyak orang-orang bekerja dari rumah, perjalanan udara yang semakin jarang, serta adanya stimulus ekonomi yang sesuai, kita bisa menekan pertumbuhan emisi untuk jangka panjang.
Carbon emissions will hit a record high for the second year in a row, but there is a small silver lining: the rate of emissions growth has slowed dramatically.

Reducing emissions doesn't have to conflict with a growing economy, as these 18 developed nations show.

La demande énergétique en hausse est l’un des facteurs explicatifs de cette tendance.

For the second year in a row global greenhouse emissions from fossil fuels have risen, putting 2018 on course to set a new record, according to an annual audit from the Global Carbon Project.

After three years in which global carbon emissions scarcely rose, 2017 has seen them climb by 2%, as the long-anticipated peak in global emissions remains elusive.
The rise of renewable energy is one reason the world is shifting away from coal.

Global emissions from fossil fuels have stalled. That puts us in the right place to keep warming below 2℃, but there's plenty of work still to be done.
China’s concerns about air pollution from burning coal is one reason behind the emissions slowdown.

Is it fair that China is blamed for the carbon dioxide emissions it generates to manufacture products destined for the West? Would the West do more to reduce greenhouse gases if it had to pay for the emissions…
