The world's fossil-fuel carbon dioxide emissions are projected to dip slightly in 2026, but the new estimate does not yet show a lasting reversal. The Global Carbon Project's 2026 Global Carbon Budget, published November 10, forecasts a 0.4% decline in fossil CO₂ emissions this year. It also estimates that total CO₂ pollution, including emissions from land-use change, will rise to 43.3 billion tonnes from 42.8 billion tonnes in 2025.
