Fossil CO₂ emissions projected to decrease in 2026 amid clean energy growth and Iran conflict
Global carbon emissions from fossil fuels are projected to decrease by 0.4% in 2026—driven by expansion of solar and wind power and the Iran conflict—according to new research by the Global...
Global carbon emissions set to fall in 2026 due to Iran energy shock
Carbon dioxide emissions are projected to fall 0.4 per cent this year, driven in part by higher oil prices resulting from disruption to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz
