Global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels and industry totaled 37.01 billion metric tons (GtCO₂) in 2023. Emissions are projected to have risen 1.08 percent in 2024 to reach a record high of 37.41 GtCO₂. Since 1990, global CO₂ emissions have increased by more than 60 percent....
Global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels are projected to rise to an all-time high in 2023, increasing about 1.1% from the previous year, climate scientists said during the UN Climate Change Conference Dec. 5. This comes as global leaders fret over whether clear language over the ...

New data published by the International Energy Agency extends the surprising finding, discovered last year, that global carbon dioxide emissions have stopped growing despite continued economic growth. The latest data show the trend has continued for a second consecutive year, which the IEA s...
The value of the global carbon market increased two percent in 2023, to record high of 881 billion euros (949 billion U.S.
May 16, 2023- The materials, innovation, and capital needed to limit global warming are not equally distributed around the world. Ensuring that all economies can achieve the transition to net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions and meet their climate goals will require scaling up cross-border flows of...
An extreme forest fire event in Canada in 2023 caused 1.5 billion tonnes of direct carbon dioxide emissions, higher than the overall carbon dioxide emissions from forest fires in the country over the past 22 years, said the blue book when reviewing typical cases of extreme forest fire events ar...
Carbon dioxide (CO2) transfer from inland waters to the atmosphere, known as CO2 evasion, is a component of the global carbon cycle. Global estimates of CO2 evasion have been hampered, however, by the lack of a framework for estimating the inland water s
In 2022, the country's carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP dropped by more than 51 percent from its 2005 level, showed figures from the 2023 annual report on China's policies and actions to address climate change. A Chinese engineer interacts with local workers at Karuma Hydropower Plant...
Excessive emissions of greenhouse gases — of which carbon dioxide is the most significant component, are regarded as the primary reason for increased concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide and global warming. Terrestrial vegetation sequesters 112–169 PgC (1PgC = 1015g carbon) each year, ...
