As world leaders met at COP31 in Antalya, the Global Carbon Project revealed the latest trends in global carbon emissions and the ramifications for reaching our global climate goals.
The University of Exeter, University of East Anglia and other research institutions released the report which offers data and analysis on major emitters including China, USA, EU27, Japan and India.
The report – the 21st annual Global Carbon Budget – offers new information on the continued high global use of coal, oil and gas fuelling our economies, as well as current rates of land-use change at country level.
The 2026 Global Carbon Budget study reports anthropogenic emissions and natural land / ocean sinks of carbon up to 2025 along with a projection for 2026, revealing the current state of the global carbon cycle and implications on future emission reductions in line with the Paris Agreement.
→ The study was published in the journal Earth System Science Data on Tuesday 10 November…
