How many countries are successfully reducing emissions while growing their economies?

The report states that 35 countries are succeeding in reducing their emissions while growing their economic output, which is twice as much as a decade ago.

What is the impact of the rising global CO2 emissions on the Paris Agreement's temperature target?

The lead author, Professor Pierre Friedlingstein, warns that the continued rise in emissions means the 1.5°C temperature threshold set by the Paris Agreement is no longer plausible.

Global CO2 Emissions Reach Record High in 2025, Shattering Climate Goals

According to a new report, global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from burning fossil fuels are projected to reach a record high of 38.1 billion tonnes by the end of 2025. This represents a 1.1% increase from the previous year, continuing the relentless rise in emissions that is pushing the world further away from its climate goals.

The report, produced by an international team of over 130 scientists, reveals some positive signs of progress, with 35 countries successfully reducing their emissions while growing their economies. However, the overall growth in global energy demand is still driving increased fossil fuel use, particularly in major emitters like the US, India, and China.
