There is no progress in CO2 reduction, we are still emiting more CO2 each year.

" Global CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion and industrial processes increased by +0.7% within 2025."

There are three main sources of green house gases. Top one which is power is declining. Transportation is still growing and the last one is agriculture which is stable. There is progress if you look at the details.

But the growth of CO2 emissions is slowing, even though the global economy is growing and many more countries are industrialising and becoming wealthier (both proxies of CO2 emissions).

So we're working on it. Not as fast as we need, but progress is being made.

It's too little too late.

India's CO2 emissions growth rate is around 4% [0], and India's economy is expected to grow at around 6-7% a year for at least the next decade. This means India's contribution alone will grow massively.

And what about other large countries like Indonesia, Vietnam, Nigeria, etc who are also seeing massive expansions.

Usage going up is not progress.
