Global Carbon Emissions Hit Record High in 2024: WMO Report Analysis
The World Meteorological Organization announced carbon emissions surged by a record 3.5ppm in 2024, marking the largest annual increase since 1957. Human activities and wildfires outpaced the diminishing carbon absorption capacity of oceans and land ecosystems.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has delivered a sobering climate update, revealing that global carbon emissions reached an all-time high in 2024. According to their annual Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations jumped by 3.5 parts per million between 2023 and 2024—the largest single-year increase since modern record-keeping began in 1957. This alarming acceleration underscores the growing gap between emission reduction targets and actual atmospheric changes.
