The Production Gap Report tracks the misalignment between governments’ planned and projected production of coal, oil, and gas and the global production levels consistent with the Paris Agreement’s temperature goal.
The report’s fifth edition arrives about 10 years after the Paris Agreement’s ratification, and right as governments submit their third round of climate pledges toward fulfilling the Paris Agreement’s goals. This edition compiles the latest fossil fuel production plans from the world’s governments since the last Production Gap Report in 2023. It provides new analysis on how these plans align with internationally agreed efforts to transition away from fossil fuels in energy systems and achieve net zero by 2050.
The report also features individual country profiles for 20 major fossil-fuel-producing countries which make up more than 80% of global fossil fuel production: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Germany, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Mexico, Nigeria, Norway, Qatar, the Russian Federation, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
Learn about all this and more in a special event highlighting this year’s key findings with the lead authors and global climate experts. A Q&A follows.
This report is produced by the SEI, Climate Analytics, and the International Institute for Sustainable Development.
