US emissions caused over $10tn in global economic damage since 1990, study finds The United States (US) has caused more than $10 trillion in global economic damage since 1990 through its greenhouse gas emissions, according to a new study published in the journal Nature. As the largest historical emitter of carbon dioxide, the US is responsible for about $10.2 trillion in cumulative climate-related economic damages worldwide through 2020, making it the biggest contributor to global losses linked to rising temperatures. Around 30 per cent of the economic damage linked to US emissions , roughly $2.97 trillion, occurred within the United States itself, while about 14 per cent ($1.39 trillion) affected the European Union, the two regions that experienced the largest total GDP losses. For India, the estimated damage from US emissions amounts to around $500 billion and for Brazil, about $330 billion, according to the research. “These are huge numbers,” said Marshall Burke, an environmental scientist at Stanford University who led the study. Burke added that the US has “a lot of responsibility, our emissions have caused damage not only to ourselves, but pretty substantial damage in other parts of the world”. Instead of taking accountability, US has stepped back from several international climate commitments. On January 20, 2025, President Donald Trump signed...

UK: 2026 Emissions Forecast Forecast: By the end of 2026, UK territorial emissions are expected to be approximately 3–4% lower than in 2024. In 2024, the United Kingdom recorded a renewed decline in territorial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, reinforcing its long-term decarbonization narrative while also exposing the limits of progress achieved so far. Provisional government statistics show total emissions of 371 MtCO₂e, down 4% from 2023 and 54% below 1990 levels. The reduction was driven primarily by the power sector, where the final closure of coal-fired generation and reduced gas use delivered sizeable gains. Yet as the UK enters the second half of the decade, the character of emissions reduction is changing. The “low-hanging fruit” of electricity decarbonisation has largely been harvested. Further progress now depends on structurally harder sectors: road transport, residential heating, industrial processes, and land use. These sectors move more slowly, are more exposed to policy reversals, and are sensitive to consumer behaviour and economic conditions. This report provides an evidence-based forecast of how UK emissions are likely to change by the end of 2026, broken down by major sectors. It assesses whether that trajectory is sufficient to meet objectives under the Paris Agreement. Forecast: By the end of 2026, UK...

What is the role of deforestation in climate change and how can 'Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation' (REDD+) How does deforestation contribute to climate change? Deforestation refers to the purposeful clearing or thinning of trees and forests. When deforestation occurs, much of the carbon stored by trees is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide, which contributes to climate change . Land use change, principally deforestation, contributes 13–21% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Forest degradation (changes that negatively affect a forest’s structure or function but that do not decrease its area), and the destruction of tropical peatlands, also contribute to these emissions. As a result of deforestation and degradation, some tropical forests now emit more carbon than they capture, turning them from a carbon ‘sink’ into a carbon source. For example, the south-eastern part of the Amazon Rainforest is now considered a net carbon source by scientists. Due to drought and unusually high temperatures in 2023 (1.5°C above typical levels from 1991 to 2020), the entire Amazon rainforest became a ‘weak source’ of CO2 emissions in 2023. It is too early to know whether this occurrence will continue into the future, as the carbon balance of the Amazon rainforest is contingent on net growth (total growth and carbon uptake minus deforestation) and climatic factors. However, the shift...

Producing more rice with fewer emissions: a global meta-analysis At a global scale, the baseline GHG emissions from rice cultivation estimated at the lowest GY (387 kg/ha) are 3519 kg CO2eq/ha [CI: 1960, 5114] (Fig.1a). This corresponds to a GHGI of 0.96 kg CO2eq/kg paddy [CI: 0.68, 1.26] (Fig.1b). CH4 accounts for around 93.9% of total emissions, with N2O contributing only 6.1%. Each additional kilogram per hectare of GY increases GWP by 0.11 kg CO2eq, driven by rising CH4 emissions (Fig.1a, c). The correlation coefficient between GY and GWP was relatively low (Fig.1a). GHGI decreased as GY increased (Fig.1b), with yield improvements outpacing emission increases across the dataset. Farming practices, grain yield and greenhouse gas emissions We evaluated farming practices’ effects on GY and GHG emissions, grouping them into four categories: Pre-planting - including farming systems, growing duration (varieties) and tillage methods. Planting and water management - covering planting techniques and water regimes. Nutrient management – encompassing nitrogen application, manure and compost use. Postharvest – including residue management. A total of eight cultivation practices, divided into 37 categories (Supplementary Table 2), were analysed, with differences expressed as percentages for clarity, focusing on statistically significant results. Six farming systems were identified and assessed in this review: Single-Rice, Double-Rice, Triple-Rice, Rice-Aquatic-Dual-Systems,...

India sets new targets to cut emissions intensity, increase renewables share by 2035 In a move welcomed by experts and environmental groups, India has announced new targets to lower the intensity of its greenhouse gas emissions and boost the share of renewables in its electricity system. The country’s latest Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), announced Wednesday, committed to cutting emissions intensity to 47 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP) by 2035. The plan, which countries typically submit once every five years to the United Nations, maintains India’s goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2070. It also set a target of 60 per cent of non-fossil electricity capacity to be achieved by then, although this is lower than the near-70 per cent mix that India’s Central Electricity Authority has forecast for 2035-2036 in its National Power Adequacy Plan. Experts suggested that the government is being deliberately conservative in its pledges. The country has faced severe impacts from the war in West Asia, with roughly half of its crude imports and over 60 per cent of liquified natural gas and liquified petroleum gas transiting through the Strait of Hormuz, a report by The Oxford Institute for Energy Studies noted. “A targeted 60 per cent share of non-fossil electricity capacity in 2035 suggests that while...

Indonesia: 2026 Emissions Forecast Stabilization Without Transformation. Without an accelerated coal phase-out, faster renewable deployment, and durable land-use enforcement, emissions reductions will remain fragile and insufficient to place the country on a Paris-aligned pathway. Indonesia’s greenhouse gas emissions trajectory heading into 2026 reflects a familiar pattern. Incremental progress in land use governance is being offset by continued dependence on fossil fuels. As one of the world’s largest emitters, Indonesia’s near-term emissions outlook will play a critical role in determining whether the country can realistically align with the Paris Agreement’s long-term temperature goals. National Emissions Baseline According to Climate Analytics, Indonesia’s current emissions stand at approximately 1.2 GtCO2e per year, excluding land use change and forestry LULUCF. When LULUCF is included, total emissions increase substantially, reflecting Indonesia’s long-standing exposure to deforestation- and peatland-related emissions. Historically, around 40 percent of Indonesia’s CO2 emissions have come from land use change, making this sector decisive for short-term emissions outcomes. Land Use and Forestry: The Only Near-Term Lever Indonesia has lost an estimated 32 million hectares of tree cover since 2001, placing it among the world’s largest contributors to deforestation-related emissions. In 2024 alone, tree cover loss generated approximately 194 MtCO2 emissions, based on Global Forest Watch data. Recent...

Japan: 2026 Emissions Forecast For the first time in more than three decades, Japan’s greenhouse gas emissions have fallen below their lowest level in more than three decades, marking a significant milestone in the country’s climate transition. Yet analysts caution that the pace of reductions through 2026 will determine whether Japan can realistically stay on track for its Paris Agreement commitments and its long-term goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. New figures released by Japan’s Ministry of the Environment show that it emitted 1.017 billion tons of CO₂ equivalent in FY2023, a 4.2% decrease from the previous year and a 27.1% reduction compared to FY2013, considering the exclusion of sinks, the baseline year for Japan’s climate targets (Ministry of the Environment, 2025). The decline reflects lower fossil fuel consumption, expanded renewable energy deployment, and reduced industrial energy demand. While the downward trend is encouraging, the next three years will be decisive. Japan must accelerate emissions cuts to meet its 46% reduction target by 2030 and its newly announced 60% reduction goal by 2035, as set out in its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). Current progress, though meaningful, remains insufficient to meet these milestones without a rapid scale-up of clean energy and industrial decarbonization. Projected Emissions...

Spain: 2026 Emissions Forecast Based on current trends, total emissions will continue to decline modestly, but not at the pace required to meet mid- and long-term goals. As of now, there are no officially published final figures for Spain’s total greenhouse-gas emissions in 2025 from the national statistical agency (INE) or the National Inventory — the most recent complete validated annual data are for 2024. The INE reports that Spain’s economy emitted 280 million tonnes of greenhouse gases in 2024 (in CO₂-equivalent) — a very slight decrease of 0.2 % from 2023. For 2025, preliminary quarterly data show that, in the first quarter alone, Spain emitted about 74.1 million tonnes of GHGs — roughly a 2.2% decline compared with the same quarter in the previous year. The long-term trend for Spain’s emissions (excluding land use & forestry) is about 38–39% below 2005 levels by 2023. The estimate for 2026: Based on current trends, total emissions will continue to decline modestly, but not at the pace required to meet mid- and long-term goals. A realistic estimate for Spain by the end of 2026 is roughly 1–3% lower than 2024 levels, i.e., around 272–275 MtCO₂e in total. This forecast assumes continued renewable deployment, energy efficiency gains,...

Vermont lawmakers don't plan on pushing policy to reduce emissions this year MONTPELIER — Vermont is falling behind on its legal mandate to cut greenhouse gas emissions. The only policies that could help the state meet its targets have died — and lawmakers aren’t on track to pass legislation this year to help the state change course. Democrats, who have a majority in the Legislature, look unlikely to take any major policy actions as they anticipate their efforts to cut state emissions might face a veto by Republican Gov. Phil Scott. “We have to use our time well. I want to spend time on things that can pass and move the ball forward,” said Sen. Anne Watson, D/P-Washington, who chairs the Senate Natural Resources and Energy Committee. She does not think Scott would approve of any major attempts to meet the state’s emission requirements, she said. House Speaker Jill Krowinski, D-Burlington, confirmed there is no broad policy vehicle this year to help the state meet its emission goals. But not taking legislative action puts the state at risk of a lawsuit. The Global Warming Solutions Act, passed in 2020, sets legally binding requirements for cutting the state’s greenhouse gas emissions in line with standards set by the Paris Agreement, a landmark international...

Saudi Arabia: 2026 Emissions Forecast Saudi Arabia’s emissions are expected to be higher at the end of 2026, reaching around 713 million tonnes. Saudi Arabia’s emissions trajectory, driven by its continued dependence on oil production, consumption, and exports, shows no sign of bending downward in the coming decade. On the contrary, its emissions are projected to rise to 819–845 MtCO2e in 2030 (excl. LULUCF), representing a 12–15% increase from 2023 levels. Saudi Arabia’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have steadily increased by 280% since 1990. CO2 emissions went up from 677.74 million in 2023 to 693.13 million in 2024. (tons) in 2024, consistently contributing about 1.8% to the global emissions in the world. Using this emissions trajectory, Saudi Arabia’s emissions are expected to be higher at the end of 2026, reaching approximately 713 million tons. Saudi Arabia’s CO2 emissions are dominated by the burning of fossil fuels for energy production, and industrial production of materials such as cement as 95% of the country’s emission stem from burning oil and gas while the rest from gas flaring and industrial production of materials like cement. CO2 emissions from oil and gas have been increasing over the last five years, while CO2 emissions from flaring and cement production remained...

India's updated climate plan targets 47% emissions cut and 60% clean power capacity by 2035 India has announced its updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for the period 2031-2035, setting revised climate targets to reduce emissions intensity, increase non-fossil fuel-based electricity and increase forest and tree cover. NDCs are voluntary national climate action plans by countries under the Paris Agreement. India’s updated targets include reducing the emissions intensity of GDP by 47% from 2005 levels by 2035, increasing the share of non-fossil fuel-based installed electricity capacity to 60%, and creating a carbon sink of 3.5 to 4.0 billion tonnes of CO₂ equivalent through forest and tree cover by 2035. India’s original climate commitments, submitted in 2015 under its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), set targets for 2030 to reduce the emissions intensity of GDP by 33-35% (emissions per unit of GDP) and achieve a 40% share of non-fossil fuel-based power capacity. In 2022, India updated its NDCs, raising the ambition to a 45% reduction in emissions intensity from 2005 levels and a 50% share of non-fossil energy capacity. The union cabinet approved the targets on March 25 and are to be communicated to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Railways and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said in a media briefing that the targets...

New technology tested in South West to track maritime emissions A new system using artificial intelligence (AI) to track the sources and movement of shipping emissions has been launched following extensive testing in Plymouth Sound. Ocean OS has unveiled EMMA (Environmental Maritime Modelling and Analytics) which gathers data from sensors and satellites and uses AI to visualise emissions in great detail. The technology will enable ports, regulators and the authorities to understand exactly where emissions go and how they impact air and water quality. Over the last six months, the company has been testing the system in the waters off Devon and Cornwall to prove the science . The project is a collaboration between Ocean OS, B4T Group, the University of Plymouth, and Satellite Applications Catapult and is backed financially by the Department of Transport through Innovate UK. The intention now is to the expand the work further around the coast to improve the data. It is hoped EMMA can be used in the UK's top 20 ports to support the decarbonising of shipping and improve the sustainability of maritime operations. "We're bringing all of the pieces of the puzzle together to really understand the full picture of where the air pollution is coming from, where it is moving, where...

Nigeria: 2026 Emissions Forecast Nigeria’s greenhouse gas emissions are projected to increase by approximately 1-3% by the end of 2026. This forecast emerges from a fundamental tension at the heart of the nation’s policy: a set of ambitious, detailed climate commitments exists in direct conflict with immediate economic plans centered on fossil fuel expansion. While the country has positioned itself as a regional climate leader with an enhanced pledge to reduce emissions, the practical reality of boosting oil production and cementing natural gas as a transitional energy source is set to drive a near-term rise in total emissions. This divergence underscores the significant gap between high-level ambition and on-the-ground implementation, placing Nigeria on a challenging path toward its stated Paris Agreement goals. The core driver of this increase lies in the energy sector, where a dual-track strategy is unfolding. On one hand, the government’s Energy Transition Plan champions solar and hydropower, and a recent legislative reform aims to attract private investment into renewables. On the other hand, the explicit national strategy to expand natural gas as a “transition fuel” for power and industry is leading to new investments in gas infrastructure. Given the severe, persistent instability of the national grid—which forces widespread reliance on...

South Africa: 2026 Emissions Forecast The total change from policy shifts estimates suggests a notable reduction in 2026 as the country moves toward its 2030 goal. South Africa’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are projected to be on a downward trajectory after peaking in 2024. However, the country remains heavily reliant on coal. Two policy shifts, including the carbon tax phase two and market-led renewable energy adoption, are expected to drive this decline. South Africa has committed to an annual emissions target of 350-420 MtCO2e by 2030. The total change estimates suggest a notable reduction in 2026 as the country moves toward its 2030 goal. For the period 2026–2030, the national carbon budget is set at 1.99-3.07 GtCO2e. The energy sector is the primary driver of the decline in 2026. Reductions are driven by the gradual decommissioning of aging coal plants and a rapid increase in renewable energy deployment through programs such as the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP). In the industrial Processes sector, emissions are expected to stabilize or decrease as the carbon tax increases in 2026, forcing efficiency improvements in minerals and metals production. The agriculture sector has already shown a slight decline in emissions with 0.6% between 2020 and 2022...

Zero-carbon zone spearheads emission reduction The Boao Zero-Carbon Demonstration Zone in Qionghai, Hainan province, has reached a stage of routine, full-scale zero-carbon operation, a milestone built on significant progress in energy conservation and carbon reduction, according to the local authorities. By the end of 2025, carbon dioxide emissions from buildings and municipal infrastructure in the zone had fallen from about 11,350 metric tons in 2019 to only about 14.6 tons, a reduction of 99.9 percent, according to the Hainan Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. The zone generates 29 million kilowatt-hours of green electricity annually, meeting its own demand of about 19.4 million kWh and feeding the remaining 9.6 million kWh into the grid, accumulating 4,965 tons of carbon credits, the department disclosed on the sidelines of the annual Boao Forum for Asia, which kicked off on Tuesday and will run through Friday. The main source of green electricity for the zone is an agrivoltaic base that combines solar power generation with organic farming, producing 25 million kWh of green electricity per year, said Cai Qi, an employee with Guoneng (Hainan) New Energy Development.

Analysis: India's CO2 emissions in 2025 grew at slowest rate in two decades India’s carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions grew by 0.5% in the second half of 2025 and by just 0.7% in the year as a whole, the slowest rate in more than two decades. This is a sharp slowdown from the growth of 4-11% in the preceding four years and marks the lowest rate of increase since 2001, excluding the impact of Covid in 2020. This is the second in a new series of half-yearly analysis on India’s CO2 emissions from fossil fuels and cement, based on official data for fuel use, industrial production and power output. Other key findings for 2025 as a whole include: Emissions in the power sector fell by 3.8% as record clean-energy growth combined with weak electricity demand. New clean-energy capacity in 2025 will add a record 90 terawatt hours (TWh) of electricity output each year, double the previous record set in 2024. The largest reductions in coal power were in the states leading on wind and solar. Oil demand grew by 0.4% and gas fell by 4%, far behind recent growth rates. Steel production surged by 8% and cement by 10%. In total, CO2 emissions went up slightly year-on-year, as increases from steel and cement outweighed...

India unveils new UN climate target: 47% emissions intensity cut by 2035, 60% non-fossil power capacity Following months of anticipation, the Union Cabinet has approved the country’s new Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for the period 2031-2035, committing to enhanced climate ambition under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement. Building on previous NDC targets, the latest NDC goals commit the following: ● Reduce emissions intensity: Target 47 per cent reduction in emissions intensity of GDP by 2035 compared to 2005 levels ● Expand non-fossil power capacity: Achieve 60 per cent of cumulative installed electricity capacity from non-fossil sources by 2035 ● Enhance carbon sink: Create 3.5-4 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent carbon sink through forest and tree cover by 2035 from 2005 level The new NDC (2031-2035) enhances the climate pledges set in India’s first NDC (2015), which were further revised and updated in 2021-2022. Even assuming current trends, the renewable capacity addition trajectory is likely to exceed the target. Median year-on-year percentage increase for capacity addition of non-fossil sources between 2021 and 2025 stood at about 12 per cent, while the same for total installed capacity was about 7 per cent. Assuming these median rates of change for non-fossil and total power capacity for 2026 to 2035, India’s non-fossil capacity...

India sets achievable green electricity and emissions instensity targets India has unveiled long-awaited climate goals that aim to cut the carbon intensity of its economy, plant trees and expand clean electricity capacity. The targets, approved by India’s government on Wednesday, will form the basis of the country’s nationally determined contribution (NDC), which it failed to submit by last year’s deadline. The headline target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions per unit of GDP by 47% by 2035 from 2005 levels, represents only a slight improvement on India’s previous goal to reduce its carbon intensity 45% by 2030. The government also set a goal for non-fossil fuels to account for 60% of electricity generation capacity by 2035, and approved targets for carbon sinks. Reactions from analysts were generally positive. Avantika Goswami, climate lead at the Centre for Science and Environment think tank, said that the targets show “India is pulling more than its weight given its minimal historical contribution to emissions” despite “backtracking” from developed countries. But Lauri Myllyvirta, lead analyst at the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air, said the targets are too easy to meet as they “underestimate the country’s potential for transformative clean energy growth”.
