agree  Oliver Lawrence: just 'greenhouse gas emissions'

  -> Thanks! Agrre with you: either either GHG emissions or, better, greenhouse gas emissions
neutral  Michele Fauble: 'emissioni di gas serra' = 'greenhouse gas emissions', 'emissioni climalternanti' = 'climate-altering emissions' - same referent, but distinct semantic senses

  -> I agree, I think the latter is not very commonly used in English thouogh, and could often be replaced by GHG emissions. Depends on the text and on the readers, anyway. The Italian term is not very common as well. So the asker has the two options :-)
