According to the Global Carbon Project, fossil CO2 emissions are expected to decrease by 0.4% in 2026, from 38.4 billion tonnes in 2025 to 38.2 billion tonnes. This decrease is due to the deployment of renewable energies and the crisis in the Middle East, which leads to a decrease in global oil and gas consumption. However, this reduction is not sufficient to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, which requires an annual decrease of 4 to 5%. The remaining carbon budget, that is, the amount of CO2 that can be emitted before warming reaches 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels, stands at 150 billion tonnes, which is equivalent to less than four years of emissions at the current rate.
