US EditionGlobal fossil fuel emissions to hit record high in 2025, study says
Global fossil fuel CO2 emissions are expected to rise 1.1% to 38.1 billion metric tons in 2025, continuing a decade-long growth trend despite some countries reducing emissions.
- On Nov 13, the Global Carbon Project reported fossil-fuel CO2 will reach 38.1 billion tonnes in 2025, up 1.1% from 2024, during COP30 UN climate talks in Belém, Brazil.
- The GCP analysis says rising energy demand outpaces renewable deployment, with data centres and colder weather boosting heating in the United States and European Union.
- The report also finds land-use CO2 fell to 4.1 billion tonnes, meaning total CO2 was about 42.2 billion tonnes in 2025 after El Niño aided sink recovery.
- The authors calculate the remaining carbon budget of 170 billion tonnes equals roughly four years at 2025 emission rates, and Professor Pierre Friedlingstein warned `With CO2 emissions still increasing, keeping global warming below 1.5°C is no longer plausible`.
- At COP30 in Belém, scientists urged faster action as some nations step back, saying immediate reductions are needed, with the report projecting a 170 billion tonne emissions budget remaining.

The Global Carbon Project predicts that carbon dioxide emissions from coal, oil and gas this year will be 1.1% higher than 2024 by reaching 38.1 billion tons.
Global CO2 emissions continued to rise in 2025. However, 35 countries have been able to reduce their emissions – with economic growth at the same time. Forest deforestation has decreased significantly, according to the report "Global Carbon Budget".
A Fossil Fuel Fight Brews at COP30 as Delegates Draft Road Map
It’s all about fossil fuels, folks. Today’s a good day to remember it took 28 COP editions for these two magic words to make it into an official text. When they did, in 2023 in Dubai, it was as part of a commitment by countries to transition away from them. At COP30, fossil fuels have taken center stage from minute one.
‘No clear peak’ for global fossil fuel emissions
Global fossil fuel emissions show no sign of slowing, with a new report suggesting they are on track to surpass records this year. Despite signs of CO₂ output slowing in Europe and China, an increase in oil and gas production, led by the US, has boosted global emissions, with a Global Carbon Project report showing they’re on track to be more than 1% higher than last year’s record. The figures come as global leaders are meeting in Brazil for COP3…
Group urges end to ecocide, fossil fuels at COP30
The group called for recognition and support for Indigenous peoples, describing them as “the best caretakers of the land.” The post Group urges end to ecocide, fossil fuels at COP30 appeared first on Premium Times Nigeria.
Global CO2 emissions are rising to a new record level in 2025. Researchers therefore declare the 1.5-degree target unattainable. However, there are also encouraging signals: dozens of states demonstrate that climate protection and economic growth are compatible.
