Global Carbon Budget 2022: Global fossil CO2 emissions expected to grow 1.0% in 2022

Green Car Congress

Growth in oil use, particularly aviation, and coal use are behind most of the increase in 2022. During the Global Financial Crisis in 2008/9, the COVID19 pandemic, and now the Ukrainian War, economic stimulus packages were meant to put the world on a cleaner and greener path, but this is not at all evident in the CO 2 emissions data.
