Global fossil fuel emissions projected to fall in 2026 for first time in years

The Global Carbon Project projects a decline in fossil fuel emissions in 2026, marking the first annual drop in years.

This shift, if realized, would signal a potential inflection point in global emissions trends, though its durability is uncertain.
