New record in 2023 for global CO2 emissions. Low hydroelectric production caused by drought and China's growth.
These emissions represent about 90% of the carbon dioxide emitted by humans. But the trend does not appear to be as bad as the previous year, when emissions increased by 490 million tons in 2022. The International Energy Agency (IEA) releases its report on global energy-related carbon dioxide emissions for 2023 on Thursday. The report is based on a report by the IEA and is published by the Energy Information Administration.
