India’s Carbon Emission Growth Slows in 2025:
India’s carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels are projected to rise by only 1.4% in 2025, a sharp slowdown from the 4% increase recorded in 2024, according to the Global Carbon Project (GCP) 2025 study. GCP, is an international collaborative program established in 2001 to study and integrate knowledge of the global carbon cycle and human activities affecting it.Emissions are expected to increase from 3.19 billion tonnes in 2024 to 3.22 billion tonnes in 2025.Global CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels are expected to rise 1.1%, reaching a record 38.1 billion tonnes this year.The study warns that the carbon budget (the maximum CO₂ we can emit while still keeping warming below 1.5°C) is almost exhausted, with only 170 billion tonnes of CO₂ remaining (about four years of emissions at 2025 levels).
