Carbon dioxide emissions are projected to fall 0.4 per cent this year, driven in part by higher oil prices resulting from disruption to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz

  Global fossil fuel emissions are projected to fall in 2026 as renewable energy and electric vehicles gain ground, but rising emissions from deforestation threaten to push total CO2 emissions to a new record. Scientists warn that the world's remaining carbon budget for limiting warming to 1.5°C could be exhausted in less than four years, even as a lasting decline in emissions appears increasingly within reach.
