Global Coal Consumption Reaches All-Time High Despite Renewable Energy Boom

Global coal consumption reached unprecedented levels in 2024 despite exponential growth in renewable energy, according to a comprehensive climate assessment. The report indicates countries are falling dangerously behind emissions reduction targets needed to limit global warming to 1.5°C.

Record Coal Use Threatens Climate Goals

Global coal consumption reached a record high in 2024 despite significant growth in renewable energy sources, according to the annual State of Climate Action report published Wednesday. The findings indicate that countries are falling dangerously behind their emissions reduction targets, threatening international efforts to limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels as outlined in the Paris Agreement.
