"We clearly are not doing enough on a global scale to reduce emissions. It's as simple as that. We need to massively increase ambition and actually just think outside the box of how we can change things, not be so tied to fossil fuel interests." - Mike O'Sullivan, University of Exeter climate scientist
"If the world continues burning fossil fuels at today's level, it has six years before passing 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the limit agreed to at the 2015 climate talks in Paris." - Stephen Sitch, study co-author
This year's pollution increase isn't quite as large as last year's 1.4% jump, indicating a slight moderation in the rise of emissions, though still far from sufficient reductions.
According to the Global Carbon Project, the continued rise in carbon emissions is mostly from the developing world and China, which has seen its emissions rise 0.2% from 2023.
