Half of world’s #CO2 #emissions come from just 32 #fossilfuel firms, study shows
Critics accuse leading firms of sabotaging #climate action but say data increasingly being used to hold them to account
Saudi #Aramco was the biggest state-controlled polluter and #ExxonMobil, #Chevron, #Shell, #ConocoPhillips and #BP -- the top five emitting investor-owned companies.
State-owned fossil fuel producers made up 17 of the top 20 emitters in the #CarbonMajors report

#Klimakrise #Hitzewellen #CarbonMajors: Ursachen & Wirkungen
Eine Studie in Nature (09/2025) untersuchte 213 Hitzewellen zwischen 2000 und 2023. Alle wurden durch den menschengemachten Klimawandel verstärkt oder wahrscheinlicher. Neu ist: Die Forschenden quantifizieren den Anteil einzelner großer fossiler Hauptemittenten, darunter viele staatliche Konzerne. Ihre Emissionen tragen nachweisbar zu den Extremereignissen bei.

🔥 Uno studio su Nature collega direttamente le #carbonmajors a metà dell’aumento d’intensità delle ondate di calore 2000-2023. 🇮🇹 Solo le emissioni di #Eni avrebbero reso possibili 50 eventi estremi, incluse le heatwaves italiane del 2003, 2011, 2018 e 2019. #ClimateCrisis #Heatwaves

Climate Disaster Survivors in the Global South Take Legal Action Against European Carbon Majors
New cases seeking compensation for loss and damage have been launched against fossil fuel and cement companies in the U.K. and Germany on behalf of people in the Philippines and Pakistan who suffered through devastating typhoons and floods…

A recent Nature study links increasing frequency and intensity of heatwaves to emissions from individual fossil fuel and cement producers (aka carbon majors). All carbon majors, regardless of size, have significantly contributed to the occurrence of these extreme events.

‘Keeping us hooked on fossil fuels’: how can we negotiate with autocracies on the climate crisis?
The great majority – including Saudi Arabia’s Aramco, China’s CHN Energy and Jinneng Holding Group and the National Iranian Oil Company – are owned by autocracies or authoritarian governments. Among the top five biggest emitters, only Coal India belongs to a democracy.

Carbon majors have raked in $30T in profits since 1985, while causing $20T in climate damages-enough to cover loss & damage costs and still keep $10T! 🌍💰 It's time for these giants to pay their fair share and fund climate justice.

The top 20 highest greenhouse forcing entities collectively accounted for 17.5 GtCO2e in emissions in 2023. The list is dominated by state-owned entities, which make up 16 of the top 20, and includes a significant presence of Chinese entities, eight of which accounted for 17.3% of global fossil fuel and cement #CO2 emissions in 2023.

36 empresas de #combustiblesfósiles son las causantes de la mitad de las emisiones en todo el mundo
Petroleras, productoras de #carbón o #industriales se encuentran en el listado de las compañías más contaminantes que elabora #CarbonMajors.
Un nuevo análisis de los últimos datos de emisiones de la base de datos Carbon Majors revela que las emisiones de los mayores productores de #petróleo, #gas, #carbón y #cemento del mundo aumentaron en 2023 en comparación con 2022, y más del 50 % de estas emisiones se vincularon a solo 36 empresas.
A pesar de la abrumadora evidencia científica que relaciona las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero con el catastrófico #calentamientoglobal, 93 de las empresas de la base de datos Carbon Majors aumentaron sus emisiones en 2023, incluidas 50 empresas privadas.
Estas son las principales conclusiones del informe:
Las empresas estatales dominaron las emisiones globales en 2023. 16 de los 20 principales emisores son de propiedad estatal y, en general, los emisores estatales contribuyeron con el 52 % de las emisiones globales en 2023.
Las empresas #chinas contribuyeron significativamente más que las empresas de cualquier otra nación. Produjeron el 23% de las emisiones globales de #CO2 de combustibles fósiles y cemento en 2023, manteniendo el liderazgo que tenían en 2022.
Las emisiones de cemento están aumentando significativamente. Cuatro de las cinco empresas con los mayores aumentos relativos de emisiones en 2023 fueron cementeras (#HolcimGroup, #HeidelbergMaterials, #UltraTechCement y #CRH), siendo las emisiones de cemento las que registraron el mayor aumento relativo entre los cuatro tipos de materias primas. Ninguna empresa cementera figura entre los cinco mayores emisores en general.
"Es verdaderamente alarmante que las mayores empresas de combustibles fósiles sigan aumentando sus emisiones ante el empeoramiento de los desastres naturales causados por el #cambioclimático, haciendo caso omiso de la evidencia científica de que estas emisiones nos están perjudicando a todos. Está más claro que nunca que las empresas privadas sucias, impulsadas por las ganancias y el statu quo, nunca optarán por autorregularse", afirma #TzeporahBerman, fundadora y copresidenta de la Iniciativa del Tratado de No Proliferación de Combustibles Fósiles.
Los cinco principales emisores estatales (#SaudiAramco, #CoalIndia, #CHNEnergy, #NationalIranianOilCo. y #JinnengGroup) fueron responsables del 17,4 % de todas las emisiones de CO2 en 2023 (7,4 GtCO2e). Cabe destacar que Coal India, CHN Energy, National Iranian Oil Co y Jinneng Group aumentaron sus emisiones en 2023 en comparación con 2022.
Los cinco principales emisores propiedad de inversores privados (#ExxonMobil, #Chevron, #Shell, #TotalEnergies y #BP) representaron el 4,9% de las emisiones globales de CO2 en 2023 (2,2 GtCO2e).
El conjunto de datos Carbon Majors cubre las emisiones desde 1854 hasta 2023, y revela que el 67,5 % de las emisiones industriales #antropogénicas de CO2 desde la #RevoluciónIndustrial se pueden rastrear hasta 180 entidades productoras #estatales y #corporativas en la base de datos.

Brutal 2: 1/3 de les emissions acumulades des del 1750 són responsabilitat de just 26 empreses. 180 empreses acumulen 2/3 de les emissions històriques. #Repsol, núm. 54 (0,21% del total mundial) https://carbonmajors.org/briefing/The-Carbon-Majors-Database-2023-Update-31397 #carbonmajors

"Secondo un rapporto di #CarbonMajors, 57 compagnie sono responsabili dell’80% delle emissioni, prodotte dal 2016 al 2022 da parte delle maggiori multinazionali dell’energia.
A loro è ascrivibile circa il 70% delle emissioni prodotte dal 1850."#cambiamentoClimatico #ClimateCrisis #SaveThePlanet #HumanRights #9maggio

“The #CarbonMajors database makes it dramatically easier to document, calculate, and visually demonstrate the growing chasm between the urgent demands of climate reality and the continued reckless and intentional growth of oil and gas production,” said Carroll Muffet, President and CEO of the Center for International Environmental Law #CIEL.

#CarbonMajors is a database of historic production data from 122 of the world’s largest oil, gas, coal, and cement producers.
• Investor-owned companies account for 31% of emissions, with Chevron, ExxonMobil, and BP the three largest contributors.
• State-owned companies are linked to 33%, with Saudi Aramco, Gazprom, and the National Iranian Oil Company being the largest contributors.
• Nation-states account for the remaining 36%.Launch report: https://influencemap.org/briefing/The-Carbon-Majors-Database-26913 @climate

Claims against emitters responsible for large-scale greenhouse gas emissions
"Climate contribution science can potentially be used to quantify the cumulative contribution of greenhouse gas emissions from each emitter. By identifying the individual emitter’s contribution and using modelling to compare and observe climate data with global climate simulations that include and exclude its influence, causation of severe weather events may be established. This could lead to findings in favour of the insurer when stepping into the shoes of the insured to recover costs for property damage caused by climate related fire weather events resulting from greenhouse gas emissions of major emitters."

"Euer Kernprodukt ist unser Kernproblem", sagte UN-Generalssekretät Antonio Guterres im Februar über die #CarbonMajors.
