The Production Gap Report 2025
The Production Gap Report 2025 finds that 10 years after the Paris Agreement, governments plan to produce more than double the volume of fossil fuels in 2030 than would be consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C, steering the world further from the Paris goals than the last assessment in 2023.
This is the fifth edition of The Production Gap report, which was first issued in 2019. It tracks the misalignment between governments' planned fossil fuel production and global production levels consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C or 2°C. The report, which is externally peer reviewed, represents a collaboration of several research and academic institutions, including inputs and reviews from more than 50 experts spanning all parts of the globe. This year's publication updates the analysis presented in the 2023 edition, profiling the plans and projections of 20 major fossil fuel-producing countries, representing a mix of the world's largest producers, large producers with readily available data, and producers with strongly stated climate ambitions.
