Global emissions are still increasing worldwide, from 35,21BtCO2 in 2013 to 36,15BtCO2 in 2017. Emissions tend to evolve towards stabilization, but the world is definitely not on-track to meet its agreed target of limiting global warming to 2°C. Under current policies, expected warming will be in te range of 3,1-3,7°C.<ref>Hannah Ritchie and Max Roser, <i>CO2 and Greenhouse Gas Emissions</i>, Our World in Data, 2019.
