Half of 2023's fossil-fuel carbon emissions tied to 36 companies: Report

Just 36 companies are responsible for more than half of global carbon emissions, as reported by InfluenceMap's Carbon Majors database.
In 2023, emissions from coal constituted 41.1% of total emissions, which increased by 0.7% from 2022.
Most emissions came from state-owned entities; Saudi Aramco, the largest emitter, would rank as the fourth largest polluter if it were a country.
Despite climate pledges, 93 companies increased their emissions from 2022 to 2023, highlighting the need for urgent governmental action.
