Among the most rapidly changing parts of our planet are the coldest landscapes near the top of the globe, just south of the Arctic. This region is warming two to four times faster than the global average. The frozen ground beneath these “boreal” forests and treeless plains or “tundra” is thawing, fast. That’s a problem because the permafrost holds enormous amounts of vulnerable carbon, more than twice as much carbon as is already present in the atmosphere. Some of that carbon is now on the move.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from fossil fuels continue to increase, year on year. This sobering reality will be presented to world leaders today at the international climate conference COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. Our latest annual stocktake shows the world is on track to reach a new record: 37.4 billion tonnes of CO₂ emitted from fossil fuels in 2024. This is an increase of 0.8% from the previous year. Adopting renewable energy and electric vehicles is helping reduce emissions in 22 countries.

Entre as partes do nosso planeta mudando mais rapidamente estão as paisagens mais frias próximas ao Polo Norte, logo ao sul do Ártico. Essa região está se aquecendo de duas a quatro vezes mais rápido do que a média global. O permafrost - o solo congelado sob essas florestas boreais e planícies sem árvores, ou "tundra" - está descongelando rapidamente. Isso é um problema, porque o permafrost contém enormes quantidades de carbono, mais do que o dobro do carbono já presente na atmosfera.
