Sažetak
It is well known that the increase in fossil emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂) is due to the burning of increasing amounts of fossil fuels over the years. The concentration of CO₂ in the atmosphere is increasing because the balance cannot be achieved by natural sinks (removal) of CO₂, which further affects the negative climate change. However, in 2020, there was a significant decrease in global fossil CO₂ emissions due to the restrictive measures taken during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although this decrease in emissions was significant, the trend of fossil CO₂ emissions in 2021, as well as in the future, will mainly depend on the success of the proven energy transition as economies recover from the COVID-19 crisis. This paper presents the mean values, variations and trends in global fossil CO₂ emissions over the period 1959-2020, focusing on the analysis of changes in 2020. It then presents projections and future long-term trends in global fossil CO₂ emissions.
