Figure 1.12 provides more detail on the dynamics of C02 emissions per capita in the region, focusing on emissions from fuel combustion only and using IEA data (IEA Energy Balances Statistics, n.d.). These data demonstrate that C02 emissions in the energy sector of the EaP countries remained stable over the period 2004-14. However, without a further transformational change, improving living standards in the region may result in an increase in energy consumption and emissions.
