As world leaders meet at COP29 in Baku, the Global Carbon Project will reveal the latest trends in global carbon emissions and the ramifications for reaching our global climate goals.
The University of Exeter, University of East Anglia and other research institutions will release the report which offers data and analysis on major emitters including China, USA, EU27 and India.
The report – the 19th annual Global Carbon Budget – will offer new information on the continued high global use of coal, oil and gas fuelling our economies, as well as current rates of deforestation at country level.
The 2024 Global Carbon Budget study reports anthropogenic emissions and natural land and ocean sinks of carbon up to 2023 along with a projection for 2024, revealing the current state of the global carbon cycle and implications on future emission reductions in line with the Paris Agreement. The study will be published in the journal Earth System Science Data on Wednesday 13 November.
Speakers included:
Prof Pierre Friedlingstein FRS, Chair in Mathematical Modelling of Climate Systems at the University of Exeter
Prof Corinne Le Quéré FRS, Royal Society Professor of Climate Change Science at the University of East Anglia
Prof Julia Pongratz, Chair of Physical Geography and Land Use Systems at the University of Munich
Dr Glen Peters, Research Director at the Center for International Climate Research in Oslo (CICERO)
