Global Carbon Budget 2022

• Global Carbon Budget 2022 report was released on November 11, 2022. 

• The report was released by the Global Carbon Project – a group of scientists who track carbon emitted by human activities.

• The global carbon emissions are expected to reach 40.6 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in 2022.

• This projection is close to the highest-ever annual total of 40.9 billion tonnes of CO2 emitted in 2019.

• There is no sign of carbon emission decline required for limiting the global warming to 1.5 degree Celsius.

• If the current emission levels continue, there is a 50 per change that the warming of 1.5°C exceed in the next 9 years.

• Record level droughts, wildfires and flooding across is world is caused because the Earth’s global surface temperature has risen by around 1.1°C when compared with the average in pre-industrial levels.
