Global energy-related CO2 emissions hit record high in 2023. Low hydroelectric production, caused by droughts, and Chinese growth explain this increase in particular.
The 2023 figures are not going in the right direction, while greenhouse gas emissions, all sectors combined, must fall by 43% by 2030 compared to 2019. These global emissions must also reach a peak by 2025. But the IEA wishes to underline the important contribution of “clean” energies, including renewables.
