Global fossil CO2 emissions fall 0.4% in 2026

Original: Fossil CO2 emissions decrease by 0.4% in 2026

Researchers at the University of Exeter report that fossil CO2 emissions are projected to decline by 0.4% in 2026, according to their annual Global Carbon Budget analysis. The finding, published on the university's site, points to the first measurable drop in fossil emissions, which scientists say is a necessary milestone but far from sufficient to meet Paris Agreement climate targets.

Why now: The Global Carbon Budget team announced a projected decline in fossil CO2 emissions for 2026, a rare potential turning point for global emissions.
