The 2024 Global Carbon Budget report, <a href=\"https:\/\/essd.copernicus.org\/preprints\/essd-2024-519\/\" title=\"\">published<\/a> in the journal Earth System Science Data, underscores that despite international efforts to curb greenhouse gases, fossil fuel emissions show no signs of peaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Total carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, including those from land-use changes like deforestation, are projected to hit 41.6 billion tonnes this year, compared to 40.6 billion tonnes in 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the last decade, fossil CO2 emissions have continuously risen while emissions from land-use changes have seen a general decline.

India&#8217;s emissions are set to rise by 4.6% and the European Union is projected to see a 3.8% decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, the report highlights that international aviation and shipping emissions, accounting for 3% of the global total, are projected to increase by 7.8% in 2024, although they remain below pre-pandemic levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Until we reach net zero CO2 emissions globally, world temperatures will continue to rise and cause increasingly severe impacts,&#8221; added Friedlingstein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report suggests that while technology-based carbon dioxide removal solutions are progressing, they only offset a minuscule amount of emissions. Current atmospheric CO2 levels are set to reach 422.5 parts per million in 2024  \u201452% above pre-industrial levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How soon will we surpass 1.5\u00b0C of global warming? The study estimates a 50% chance of consistently surpassing the 1.5\u00b0C threshold in about six years if current emission trends persist. This serves as a grim reminder that the remaining carbon budget to mitigate the most severe impacts of climate change is rapidly depleting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2024 Global Carbon Budget report, a comprehensive peer-reviewed update involving over 120 scientists from 80 institutions worldwide, will be presented at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This urgent call to action arrives as world leaders converge at COP29 to negotiate climate policies and strategies aimed at significantly reducing global CO2 emissions to combat the climate crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Global carbon emissions from fossil fuels have soared to unprecedented heights in 2024, reaching 37.4 billion tonnes \u2014 a 0.8% increase from the previous year, according to a new study by the Global Carbon Project.
