The 2025 update of the Global Carbon Budget is out.​​
While fossil CO2 emissions rise again and carbon sinks are weakened by climate change, deforestation emissions are down and many countries decarbonise their energy.
No global emissions peak yet though.

The world’s carbon emissions continue to rise. But 35 countries show progress in cutting carbon
In 2025 the world has fallen short, again, of peaking and reducing its fossil fuel use. But there are many countries on a path to greener energy.

How can we use citizens' assemblies to shape climate policy?👥

New CAST Briefing: "Using citizens’ assemblies to shape climate policy: A summary of
current thinking for policymakers and practitioners", led by Prof Irene Lorenzoni.
