Global carbon emissions will expand more slowly this year as China’s greenhouse-gas output declines.

Emissions will increase 0.2 percent, a slower pace than the average 2.3 percent a year in the decade through 2013, according to the Global Carbon Project and the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England. Economic production will advance more than 3 percent, according to a report written by the United Nations and academic groups.
