Global carbon emissions forecast cut due to Ukraine war and Biden, says BP

Oil and gas group says countries are pursuing energy security by backing domestic, renewable supplies

Global carbon emissions are expected to fall quicker than previously expected as a result of the war in Ukraine and Joe Biden’s efforts to encourage green investment, BP has said.

The oil and gas company said carbon emissions will fall more rapidly than it forecast a year ago amid renewed efforts by countries to pursue greater energy security by supporting domestic, renewable energy supplies.
