According to the [Global Carbon Budget 2024](https://www.globalcarbonproject.org/carbonbudget/) report, carbon dioxide emissions amounted to 41,600 million tons globally, one billion more than in the immediately previous year. Carbon dioxide (CO2), one of the three main greenhouse gases, along with methane and nitrous oxide, is currently accumulating in ![](https://www.acrlatinoamerica.com/images/Ko%20Barrett.jpg)the atmosphere "more rapidly than at any other time in human existence," said Ko Barrett, deputy secretary-general of the [World Meteorological Organization](https://wmo.int/es). According to [Greenpeace](https://es.greenpeace.org/), the 43% reduction in emissions recommended by [the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)](https://www.ipcc.ch/) in 2030 is still a long way from being achieved, so it is expected that the carbon budget to avoid exceeding the physical limit of 1.5ºC in the long term will be exceeded in the next 6 years. This limit of 1.5ºC was defined in the Paris Agreement as a kind of threshold that would prevent climate changes considered irreversible. - Publicidad - In this regard, the UN has pointed out that current plans to reduce emissions by 2030 will only manage to reduce them by 2.6% below 2019 levels, falling far short of the 43% reduction needed to tackle the problem of rising global temperatures. Experts in the field have emphasized that the increase in CO2 emissions, equivalent to 0.8% this year, highlights that the planet's climate change continues to have undesirable effects such as rising sea levels and serious effects on global biodiversity. ![Javier Ortiz](https://www.acrlatinoamerica.com/images/Javier%20Ortiz.jpg)"Although the path to sustainability is complex, it is possible to move forward with concrete actions that generate a real impact on the environment. In this purpose, every effort counts, and the combination of technological innovation and social commitment will be key to building a more resilient future," said Javier Ortiz, president of Schneider Electric's Andean Cluster, on the occasion of the World Day for the Reduction of CO2 Emissions, which is commemorated every year on January 28. ![Álvaro León Pérez Sepúlveda](https://www.acrlatinoamerica.com/images/stories/ACR/2025/Alvaro_Leon_Perez_S.jpg#joomlaImage://local-images/stories/ACR/2025/Alvaro_Leon_Perez_S.jpg?width=690&height=690) Álvaro León Pérez SepúlvedaEmail: aperez@latinpressinc.com Editor - Latin Press, Inc.
