Scientists warn that global carbon dioxide emissions are on track to hit an all-time high of 41.6 billion metric tons in 2024, primarily due to fossil fuel consumption and land use changes. The Global Carbon Budget report, presented at COP29, indicates rising emissions from coal, oil, and gas that threaten the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement. While some countries are making strides in renewable energy, emissions are growing in emerging economies like India and China. Experts emphasize the need for urgent global action to reduce emissions and avert severe climate repercussions.
