Global fossil fuel emissions are likely to decrease by 0.4% in 2026, according to new research by the Global Carbon Project, an annual report that tracks trends in global carbon emissions.
What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover or tap one to see who reported it.
The report found that the world’s carbon budget – the amount of CO2 that can be emitted before global warming exceeds 1.5 deg C above pre-industrial levels – stands at 150 billion tonnes.
India, on the other hand, will likely see emissions rise by 4.4%—a bump from the 3.5% annual growth in fossil fuel emissions it has averaged over the last decade.

Global fossil fuel emissions are projected to decrease by 0.4% in 2026, according to a report from the Global Carbon Project. This reduction stems from an energy shock caused by the Iran war and increased adoption of renewable energy sources like wind and solar power. Notably, China’s emissions are expected to drop by 0.9%, while those of the U.S. will decrease by 1.3%. India is a notable exception, with its…
Fossil Fuel Emissions Are Expected to Decrease in 2026 →The Global Carbon Project’s latest report indicates that fossil fuel emissions are projected to decrease by 0.4% in 2026 compared to 2025 levels, primarily due to a reduction in oil emissions linked to the Iran war. However, lead researcher Pierre Friedlingstein warns that this drop is not sustainable without significant acceleration in renewable energy capacity and electrification efforts. Total global carbon…
Renewables and Iran war help drive fall in global fossil fuel emissions →Global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels dropped by 0.4% to 42.2 billion tonnes in 2026, according to a study by the Global Carbon Project. This slight decrease is attributed more to disruptions caused by the Iran war and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz than to efforts against climate change. The war has led to significant price increases for oil and gas, causing emissions from these sources to drop…
Heat-trapping carbon pollution drops, but scientists cite Iran war rather than energy progress →Global fossil fuel emissions are projected to decrease by 0.4% in 2026 due to a combination of renewable energy expansion and an oil price shock caused by the Iran war, according to the Global Carbon Budget report released on November 10 during the COP31 climate summit in Antalya, Turkey. This marks the first annual decline since the pandemic-driven drop in 2020. The report attributes the decrease largely to reduced…
