Annual Report 2025 for CO2 Emission Accounts of Global Emerging Economies
The Report for CO2 Emission Accounts of Global Emerging Economies has been published for five consecutive years as an important reference on energy consumption and CO2 emissions in emerging economies, providing strong data support and guidance for their low-carbon transition. In the new report, the Carbon Emission Accounts and Datasets (CEADs) continue to monitor the developments in energy consumption and carbon emissions in emerging economies, expanding the scope of data and refining emission accounting methods to provide more robust data base for their future low-carbon development. Building upon the previous year’s efforts, we continue to update the CO2 emission inventories of emerging economies, offering the detailed analysis for changes of CO2 emissions in emerging economies across Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and Oceania. Every emerging economy covers information, such as primary energy consumption, characteristics of fossil fuel emissions, and sectoral emission contribution. We believe that through continuous updates and improvements, this report will become increasingly accurate and make a greater contribution to global efforts to address climate change.
This report was jointly prepared by scholars from Tsinghua University, Tianjin University, Shandong University, Renmin University of China, The University of Hong Kong, University College London, the University of Birmingham, Beijing Forestry University and other research institutions around the world. We are especially grateful to CEADs’ Scientific Steering Committee for its guidance and assistance. We would also like to express our gratitude to the Department of International Cooperation of the Ministry of Science and Technology for their support of the "China-Europe Science and Technology Cooperation on Climate Change and Sustainable Development under the Carbon Neutrality Target" project; and to the National Natural Science Foundation of China for their sponsorship of this report. We also appreciate the support provided by the Administrative Center for China's Agenda 21 in the preparation of this report. If there are any inaccuracies in this report, readers are invited to criticize and correct them.
The CEADs research team is committed to developing a multi-scale, uniform, full-caliber, transparent, verifiable, long time series, spatially precise carbon emission accounting list for the more than 150 developing countries worldwide. It also aims to continuously improve the timeliness of data from these countries. Towards these goals, CEADs continues to expand the number of carbon emission inventories of emerging economies by means of data crowdfunding to improve the reliability and robustness of data.
