A newly released report warns that nations are preparing to produce more than double the fossil fuels required to stay within the global warming limit of 1.5 degrees Celsius by 2030.

The Production Gap Report 2025 reveals governments' plans for coal, oil, and gas exceed the limits needed to meet climate goals, reflecting a gap between commitments and actions.

Major fossil fuel producers, including the US, China, and India, are not aligning their production strategies with international climate agreements, underscoring a significant policy failure.
