In this webinar, CICERO researchers involved in the Global Carbon Project explain why global fossil CO₂ emissions are projected to decline in 2026, whether this marks the beginning of a sustained decline, and what role the conflicts in Iran and Ukraine, clean energy growth, and El Niño are playing in shaping the global carbon budget. We also take a deep dive into what is happening in key countries.

Related research groups

Climate Mitigation

The research group works to understand the trends and drivers of historical and future emissions of greenhouse gases and short-lived climate forcers, and their effect on the climate.

Climate System

The Climate System group conducts research to understand the physical changes and evolution of the global and regional climate system, the underlying driving human-induced and natural processes, and the subsequent consequences.

Klima- og naturrisiko

Forskningsgruppen modellerer og analyserer hvordan miljø- og klimaendringene påvirker natur, samfunn og økonomien, utfører scenarioanalyser og gjennomfører stresstesting med utgangspunkt i kunnskap og kompetanse i å bruke klimamodeller og økonomiske modeller samt klima- og miljødata.
