Global Carbon Budget 2026: Fossil CO2 emissions projected to fall slightly
Global fossil fuel and cement CO2 emissions are projected to fall by 0.4% in 2026 to 38.2bn tonnes. The decline is primarily driven by a 1.9% drop in oil emissions following the Iran conflict and Hormuz strait closure. Total CO2 emissions, including land-use change, are expected to reach a record high of 43.3GtCO2 due to increased peat fires and deforestation. Clean energy growth (solar, wind, EVs) offsets two-thirds of rising energy demand, but is insufficient for a sustained decline.
