EMISSIONS OF CARBON DIOXIDE TO GROW BY 17 PER CENT

`These findings clearly demonstrate that stronger and more creative policies will be needed for accelerating the spread of climate-friendly technologies and persuading businesses, local governments and citizens to cut their greenhouse gas emissions,` said Joke Waller Hunter, Executive Secretary of the UN Climate Change Convention.

The so-called transition countries of Central and Eastern Europe are also starting to increase their emissions again as their economies recover from their early- and mid-1990s nadir, according to the report, `Compilation and Synthesis of Third National Communications` and based on projections provided by the governments themselves. As a result, the developed world as a whole - highly industrialized plus transition countries - will see its emissions increase by 10 per cent from 2000 to 2010.
