The world is on course to produce around 110% more fossil fuels than what is compatible with a 1.5C future, according to a new UN report warning that governments plan to double fossil fuel production by 2030 despite setting net-zero targets.

The economic consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic caused CO2 emissions from buildings and construction to fall significantly in 2020, but a lack of real transformation in the sector means that emissions will keep rising and contribute to ...

Despite pledges of action from many nations, almost none have policies to wind down production, report says

With large growth projected in the buildings sector, emissions are set to rise if there is no effort to decarbonise buildings.

The world needs to cut by more than half its production of coal, oil and gas in the coming decade to maintain a chance of keeping global warming from reaching dangerous levels, according to a U.N.-backed study released Wednesday.

UN warns planned fossil fuels production ‘dangerously’ out of sync with climate targets

Global fossil fuel production is soaring and nearly twice as high as what would be consistent with achieving the Paris goals, a UN-backed report said.

Even as industrialized nations promote climate change policies, their plans for fossil-fuel extraction are more than double allowed by the Paris accords to meet a 1.5˚ Celsius increase.

Plans for fossil fuel production around the world are twice the level necessary to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, according to a

Countries are planning to produce more than twice as much oil, gas and coal through 2030 as would be needed if governments want to limit global warming to Paris Agreement goals.
