In 2014, the IEA projected global CO₂ would climb toward 46 Gt/year by 2040.
Even the optimistic view was 38 Gt/year — a slow but steady rise.
Today, without major new action, we’re already tracking near 38 Gt/year, and with pledged policies, closer to 33 Gt/year.
The world is still far from net-zero, but expectations have fundamentally shifted.
