Global power sector emissions decreased by 0.13% or 20.31 Mt CO2e in 2025, the first decline since the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of the decline came from India and China, but Russia, Australia, and Poland also saw significant drops. Globally, the current rate of growth in emissions is half what it was

Electric cars go mainstream as adoption surges across rich and developing nations A wave of affordable Chinese-made EVs is accelerating the shift away from petrol cars, challenging long‑held assumptions about how transport decarbonisation unfolds

#EVs have quickly gained ground outside Europe/US, avoiding a rise in fuel-burning vehicles and “leapfrogging” the development path that richer countries have taken. But now with their widescale adoption, it’s looking a little bit easier for #climateprogress” www.theguardian.com/environment/...
