1/n We just published a global assessment of GHG emissions from global rice cultivation. Led by Jingting Zhang & Hanqin Tian, this is part of the Global Carbon Project's efforts to constrain the Global Methane Budget & provide relevant data for GHG mitigation. theconversation.com/rice-feeds-b...

Rice feeds billions of people – but its role in fueling climate change is growing

There are ways to reduce emissions without sacrificing yield. A new study shows how, and looks at a technique billed as ‘climate-friendly’ that makes emissions worse.

1/2 Next week, I’ll join experts from across the research, industry and policy communities at FRAME – the Forum for Reducing Australia’s Methane Emissions. Over two days, we’ll examine methane measurement and abatement, share emerging knowledge, and support stronger cross-sector understanding.

1/1 The GCP-Global Carbon Budget 2025 has just been published in its final form. It is the same data we released at the last COP in Nov 2025, but given the many improvements this budget introduced compared to previous editions, it underwent a longer and more detailed peer review process.

Global Carbon Budget 2025

Abstract. Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere in a changing climate is critical to bette...

Last couple of days, if you are interested. Even if you don't want or qualify for funding, you might be interested in participating in this new activity with your in-kind support.

1/2 For Biospheric Modelers There is a new activity led by @benpoulter.bsky.social at SPARK, supported by the GCP, called Warming Induced Emissions-Model Intercomparison (WIE-MIP). There is a call for involvement and a funding opportunity with a deadline at the end of November.

The 2025 update of the Global Carbon Budget is out.​​ While fossil CO2 emissions rise again and carbon sinks are weakened by climate change, deforestation emissions are down and many countries decarbonise their energy. No global emissions peak yet though. theconversation.com/the-worlds-c...

The world’s carbon emissions continue to rise. But 35 countries show progress in cutting carbon

In 2025 the world has fallen short, again, of peaking and reducing its fossil fuel use. But there are many countries on a path to greener energy.

1/2 To support this year's Global Carbon Budget, 2025, we are publishing The big paper, made possible by the strong commitment of a core group of scientists, with @pfriedling.bsky.social at the lead, working with a network of equally committed contributors from 102 research organizations worldwide

There is increasing talk about overshoot of 1.5°C, particularly that *now* we can only achieve 1.5°C by first overshooting 1.5°C. Well, sorry to tell you, 1.5°C have always been overshoot scenarios. Here from the original 'SSP' 1.5°C scenarios published in 2018. [Overshoot is a scenario design]

1/2 I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to make a small contribution to this paper, just published. "Building relationships between First Nations Peoples and Western scientists to increase capacity to understand, respond and adapt to climate change"
