The annual exponential population growth rate is estimated to be 11.9 per 1000 persons from 2012 to 2030 and 12.1 per 1,000 persons from 2030 to 2060. If the GDP per capita is estimated to increase at a yearly rate of 2.5% from 2012 to 2030 and 1.5% from 2030 to 2060, calculate the annual rate of emissions reductions from 2012 to 2060 to keep impact levels in 2060 at the 2012 values.
