2023 report – It provides newly expanded country profiles for 20 major fossil-fuel-producing countries, including India.
It provided for new mitigation scenarios database and changes in government plans and projections since August 2021.

Findings of the report

Almost 90% of global carbon dioxide emissions come from fossil fuels, rising to record high in 2021–2022.
There will be increased global coal production until 2030, and increased global oil and gas production until at least 2050.
The global production gap has remained largely unchanged since 2019.
While 17 of the 20 countries profiled have pledged to achieve net-zero emissions, none have committed to reduce coal, oil, and gas production in line with limiting warming to 1.5°C.
