据道琼斯3月17日消息，国际能源署（IEA）表示，2016年全球能源行业的碳排放量连续第三年持平。IEA表示，尽管经济出现增长，但是可再生电力的增长、煤炭向天然气的转换以及能效的提高帮助减少了碳排放。虽然当前要说全球碳排放量已经达到峰值水平还为时过早，但是IEA表示，这种新兴的趋势令人对未来的前景持乐观态度。IEA表示，去年全球能源行业的碳排放量仍然维持在321亿吨，其中美国和中国碳排放量的减少弥补了其他地区的增加。

Global 2016 Carbon Emissons From Energy Sector Flat
Global carbon emissions from the energy sector were flat for the third year in a row in 2016, the International Energy Agency says. Growing renewable power generation, switching from coal to gas and better energy efficiency helped mute emissions even as the economy grew, according to the Paris-based watchdog. Though it's too soon to say global emissions have peaked, the IEA says the emerging trend is a "cause for optimism." Global emissions from the energy sector remained at 32.1 gigatons last year, with declining emissions in the U.S. and China offsetting increases elsewhere, the IEA says.
