Global carbon emissions are projected to reach 36.4 billion tonnes of CO2 this year, rebounding to pre-Covid levels, a new study says
The study by the Global Carbon Project projects total global emissions this year to reach 36.4 billion tons of CO2.
"This report is a reality check," co-author Corrine Le Querre, a professor of climate change science at the Britain's University of East Anglia, told the AFP news agency. However this requires slashing carbon emissions nearly in half by 2030 and to net-zero by 2050, the UN's climate science authority has warned. Among major emitters, China and India are expected to post higher emissions in 2021 than in 2019, while the United States and Europe are expected to have slightly slower emissions.
