"Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from fossil fuels continue to increase, year on
year. This sobering reality will be presented to world leaders today at the
international climate conference COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan.
Our latest annual stocktake shows the world is on track to reach a new record:
37.4 billion tonnes of CO₂ emitted from fossil fuels in 2024. This is an
increase of 0.8% from the previous year.
Adopting renewable energy and electric vehicles is helping reduce emissions in
22 countries. But it’s not enough to compensate for ongoing global growth in
fossil fuels.
There were also signs in 2023 suggesting natural systems may struggle to
capture and store as much CO₂ in the future as they have in the past. While
humanity is tackling deforestation and the growth in fossil CO₂ emissions is
slowing, the need to reach an immediate peak and decline in global emissions
has never been so acute."
