Summary
This peer-reviewed article presents the Global Carbon Budget 2022, offering detailed quantification of CO₂ emissions from fossil fuels, land-use change, and their partitioning among atmosphere, oceans, and terrestrial biosphere. Data are derived from robust statistical methods and global models spanning 1959–2021. It highlights uncertainties in land-use fluxes, regional sink variability, and interannual trends, providing essential context for climate policy and carbon-cycle understanding.
