Madrid, Dec 4 (EFE) - The record of CO2 emissions in the atmosphere in 2019 that will increase by 0.6% over last year, according to a prestigious scientific report published on Wednesday, will further hinder the fight against the climate crisis and the achievement of the objectives agreed by the countries in the Paris Agreement. This was stated today by Glen Peters, director of the Cicero research centre in Oslo, on behalf of the international scientific organisation "Global Carbon Project", which this Wednesday published its latest annual report on carbon dioxide emissions forecasts, the conclusions of which have been debated in the framework of the climate summit in Madrid.FOOTAGE OF INTERVIEW WITH GLEN PETERS, DIRECTOR OF THE CICERO RESEARCH CENTRE IN OSLO
