•Emissions Rise: 2023 global emissions reached 57.1 billion tonnes of CO₂, a 1.3% increase from 2022.
•Emissions must peak by 2025 and decline by 43% from 2019 levels by 2030 to meet Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C target, but current trends fall short.
•CO₂ concentrations in 2023 reached 420 ppm, over 150% higher than pre-industrial levels.
•Global temperature in 2023 was 1.45°C above pre-industrial levels.
•Current projections show only a 2.6% reduction in emissions by 2030, far from the needed 43% cut.
•Greenhouse gases like CO₂ persist in the atmosphere for centuries, making immediate temperature reduction challenging.
•Methane and nitrous oxide levels also hit record highsAccelerate renewable energy adoption and reduce fossil fuel dependence.
•Finalize a global climate finance deal at the Baku summit, supporting developing nations.
