Long-term trend in global CO2 emissions; 2011 report

After a 1 percent decline in 2009, global carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions increased by more than 5 percent in 2010, which is unprecedented in the last two decades. The industrialised countries that ratified the Kyoto Protocol, together with the non-ratifying USA emitted approximately 7.5 percent less CO₂ in 2010 than in 1990 and collectively remain on target to meet the original Kyoto Protocol objective of a 5.2  percent reduction.

The Emissions Gap Report 2012

Scaling up and accelerating action on climate change without delay will reduce the risk that keeping global average temperature rise below 2 °C becomes an unrealistic prospect. The Emissions Gap Report was coordinated by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the European Climate Foundationwith a contribution by the PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, and was released days before the start of the Climate Change Conference of the Parties in Doha. It shows that global greenhouse gas emission levels are now more than 10% above the minimum of the 2020 emission range under the least-cost pathway towards 2 °C.

10. Keeping Average Global Temperature Rise to Below 2 °C Still Doable
