Bangladesh's fossil fuel CO2 emissions rose from 77 million tonnes in 2015 to 115.9 million tonnes in 2025, a jump of nearly 50% in a decade, according to the Global Carbon Budget 2026. The report, produced by more than 140 scientists, tracks emissions across countries and energy sources. Globally, fossil fuel emissions are projected to fall 0.4% in 2026, but total CO2 including land use is still expected to rise to 43.3 billion tonnes. Solar and wind are avoiding an estimated 4.6 billion tonnes of emissions in 2026, yet the remaining carbon budget for 1.5C is down to 150 billion tonnes, under four years at current rates. The Bangladesh numbers show a developing economy still locking in fossil fuel growth. India is also climbing at 4.4% this year. The report argues clean energy deployment has to speed up well beyond current levels to turn one-off dips into a lasting peak.
