How much CO₂ can the world emit while limiting global temperature rise?
Bar chart showing estimates of remaining carbon dioxide budgets that give a 50% likelihood of staying below each temperature level, relative to pre-industrial levels. A baseline label shows global emissions in 2025 at 42 gigatonnes (Gt) per year. Three vertical bars show remaining CO2 budgets: stay below 1.5°C — 170 Gt, labeled as 4 years of current emissions, with a note that if emissions stay at 2025 levels the 1.5°C budget will be exhausted within 4 years; stay below 1.7°C — 525 Gt, labeled as 12.5 years of current emissions; stay below 2°C — 1055 Gt, labeled as 25 years of current emissions, with an annotation saying that by 2050 we will have exhausted the 2°C budget unless emissions are reduced now. Footer note states these estimates have uncertainty and depend on changes in non-CO2 greenhouse gases such as methane and nitrous oxide. Data sources listed as IPCC, Forster et al. (2025) and Global Carbon Project (2025). License CC BY.

Human emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are the main drivers of recent climate change.
Chart showing the global average land-sea surface temperature relative to a pre-industrial baseline, the 1861–1890 average Temperatures have risen by approximately 1.3°C since then (as a measure of climate ,the average over decades) Temperatures in the last couple years have been closer to 1.5°C.

If you're over 30, you're older than most people in the world

How old are you compared to the rest of the world?
A line graph titled "How old are you, compared to most of the world?" is displayed. The y-axis represents age in years, ranging from 0 to 45, while the x-axis represents the years from 1950 to 2100. The line starts below 25 in 1950, gradually rises to about 30 in 2020, and goes above 40 by 2100. The data points are connected by a smooth, dark blue line with dotted segments for future projections. Also noted is a data source, indicating that the information comes from the United Nations' World Population Prospects of 2024. The graphic is credited with "CC BY" for licensing.

Air pollution kills millions each year. But where does it come from?
In our new article, @hannahritchie.bsky.social and I dive into the data.

Most births in Europe are to mothers in their thirties
The graphic presents a line chart illustrating the shift in birth rates among older mothers in Europe. The title at the top states, "Births have shifted to older mothers in Europe," and the subtitle notes that it depicts the estimated share of total births by the age of the mother. The vertical axis is labeled with percentages from 0% to 70%, while the horizontal axis covers years from 1950 to 2023. There are four lines representing different age groups: - Women aged 20-29, shown in a light gray line, which hovers around 30% in the early years and gradually declines over time. - Women aged 30-39, depicted in a prominent brown line that crosses above 50% since 2015, indicating they became the age group with the most births. - Women aged 40-49, represented by a light gray line, which rises slightly in recent years. - Women aged 10-19, also shown in light gray, with minimal levels of births throughout the time period.

🌡 New on @ourworldindata.org:

We added global temperature anomaly charts *coloured by El Nino / La Nina periods*.

Today's "cool" years are warmer than "warm" years of the past.

More land animals than ever before are slaughtered for meat.

Recent estimates indicate that globally, most animals are raised on factory farms. In the US, where better data and research are available, 99% of livestock is factory-farmed.

For this year's #ProjectForAwesome I met with a few friends who are passionate about making the world better, and we made a bunch of videos about impactful charities we love. 💙

Supporting them is easy: click the links, hit "I'm not a robot" (unless you are), and then "Vote"!

Here my favorite (1/4)

In 2004, it took the world a year to add a gigawatt of solar power — now it takes a day
A line graph depicting the average number of days it took to install a gigawatt of solar energy capacity worldwide from 2001 to 2023. The vertical axis represents the number of days on a logarithmic scale, spanning from 1 to 1000 days. The horizontal axis indicates the years from 2001 to 2023. In 2004, the average time was about 1 year, which is marked on the graph. A downward trend shows significant decreases in installation time over the years. By 2010, it took under 30 days, and by 2015, just over 7 days. The most notable point is in 2023, where it dropped to about 1 day on average for installation. The data source is attributed to IRENA (2024), with calculation by Our World in Data, and the chart is identified as CC BY, indicating it is licensed for sharing and adaptation with appropriate credit.

NEW | Solar generates more EU electricity than coal for the first time in 2024 🇪🇺☀️

Renewables made up nearly HALF of the electricity mix last year, while fossil power fell to a historic low ⚡

The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better.

All three statements are true at the same time. Understanding this is key to solving big global problems.

We believe data & research can help us understand both the problems we face & the progress that’s possible. 🧵
