Summary/Abstract
The Carbon Majors database published an update reflecting sources of over 30 Gt CO2 equivalent of greenhouse gases in 2024. Among the many findings in the report, just 32 companies were linked to over half of global fossil fuel and cement CO2 emissions; state-owned companies dominated global fossil fuel emissions at over 50% and increased their emissions; and discussed legal actions taken that rely on the Carbon Majors database as evidence to support attribution of climate impacts.
