While the mix shifts toward lower-carbon-intensive fuels, the world will need to pursue all economic energy sources, the report says. As personal mobility increases, average new-car fuel economy (including SUVs and light trucks) will improve as well, rising from about 30 miles per gallon (7.83 l/100 km) in 2040.

An exceptional shortfall in hydropower due to extreme droughts in the US, China, and several other economies resulted in over 40% of the rise in emissions in 2023 as countries turned largely to fossil fuels to plug the gap. Their emissions dropped to a 50-year low while coal demand fell back to levels not seen since the early 1900s.
