An image representing a carbon dioxide molecule: a gray sphere, representing a carbon atom, sits between two blue spheres, representing oxygen atoms. The blue sphere in the foreground has transformed into a flower, whose petals have opened to reveal the flower’s filaments inside. End of image description.

Progress has been made to reduce global carbon emissions—but not enough. Under the current trajectory, the world won’t achieve net-zero emissions even during this century, according to the authors of a recent McKinsey report. To learn more about what opportunities remain for accelerating decarbonization efforts, check out the latest edition of the Five Fifty.
Image description: A line graph shows the projected global carbon dioxide emissions, in metric gigatons, for roughly 20 scenarios starting in 2020 and ending in the year 2100. The lines are color-coded by the degree of projected warming they represent above preindustrial levels, spanning a range from 2.0 to 3.5°C. As per the graph, if the world stays on its current trajectory, net-zero emissions won’t be attainable during this century under any of these scenarios. End of image description.
