Global carbon emissions from fossil fuels have increased by 1.1% in the past year, despite most countries committing to net zero targets. According to a new report by the Global Carbon Project, there has been no significant decrease in total emissions needed to prevent dangerous climate change. Emissions fell in some regions such as Europe and the US, but increased in others like China, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and Australia. Global atmospheric CO2 levels are projected to average 419.3 parts per million in 2023, which is 51% above pre-industrial levels. Fossil CO2 emissions are now 6% higher than they were in 2015, the year the global community committed to keeping warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius under the Paris Agreement.
