CO2 - emissions

Efficiency improvements and high shares of renewable energy contribute to decoupling economic growth from CO2 emissions. Germany’s CO2 emissions are higher than those of Türkiye and declining, while Türkiye’s emissions are lower but increasing along with its economic development. The energy transition provides the opportunity for sustained economic growth without further increases in carbon emissions.
