• GREENHOUSE EMISSIONS SOURCES VARY WIDELY BY REGION (1991 Example)

[ocr errors]

In the OECD Area, energy-related emissions are the predominant GHG emissions source.

In other regions, land-use changes and methane emissions have greater significance.

Efforts towards mitigation may need to have a varying emphasis in different regions.

urce: BP Statistical Review of World Energy, British Petroleum, June 1995

• THERE ARE MAJOR REGIONAL DIFFERENCES IN EMISSIONS TRENDS SINCE 1990.

Emissions in the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe fell by 29 percent, offsetting modest emissions growth in the OECD and rapid emissions growth outside of Annex I.
