****BRIEFING RECORDING NOW AVAILABLE**** Despite progress in clean energy, fossil fuel emissions continue to go up due to growth in natural gas, oil and coal, according to this year's annual carbon budget update to be released at COP29 in Azerbaijan. While collective efforts have seen total carbon emissions from fossil fuels and land-use change plateau over the past decade (mostly due to a decline in emissions from deforestation), the change is not enough to drive emissions down. The concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere is set to reach 422.5 parts per million in 2024, 2.8 parts per million above 2023, and 52% above pre-industrial levels. These are some of the key findings from the annual Global Carbon Budget, a multinational scientific effort led by the Global Carbon Project hosted by CSIRO in Australia. Join this online briefing to hear from report co-author and Director of the Global Carbon Project, Dr Pep Canadell.
