Record fossil-fuel emissions forecast for 2025 as global carbon budget nears exhaustion

Global carbon emissions linked to fossil fuels are projected to hit an all-time high of 38.1 billion tonnes this year, a report published on the sidelines of the COP30 climate summit has stated.

According to the Global Carbon Budget, the latest projected greenhouse gas volume shows a marginal increase over the last year.

The report also pointed out that India contributes 3.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas volume and its rate of emission growth, though still higher than the global average, is gradually declining owing to an emphasis on solar power production.
