How much CO₂ can the world emit while limiting global temperature rise?
Bar chart showing estimates of remaining carbon dioxide budgets that give a 50% likelihood of staying below each temperature level, relative to pre-industrial levels. 

A baseline label shows global emissions in 2025 at 42 gigatonnes (Gt) per year. Three vertical bars show remaining CO2 budgets: stay below 1.5°C — 170 Gt, labeled as 4 years of current emissions, with a note that if emissions stay at 2025 levels the 1.5°C budget will be exhausted within 4 years; stay below 1.7°C — 525 Gt, labeled as 12.5 years of current emissions; stay below 2°C — 1055 Gt, labeled as 25 years of current emissions, with an annotation saying that by 2050 we will have exhausted the 2°C budget unless emissions are reduced now. Footer note states these estimates have uncertainty and depend on changes in non-CO2 greenhouse gases such as methane and nitrous oxide. Data sources listed as IPCC, Forster et al. (2025) and Global Carbon Project (2025). License CC BY.
