Short summary
The ocean helps slow climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide, but our research shows this process weakens quickly when we reduce emissions. Using a sophisticated model, we found that the ocean’s carbon uptake drops within just a few years of mitigation. This change is most visible in the North Atlantic and Southern Ocean. To accurately track our progress in addressing climate change, we must focus global monitoring efforts on these specific, sensitive regions of the open sea.

The Global Carbon Budget 2026 describes the methodology, main results, and datasets used to quantify the anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and their partitioning among the atmosphere, land ecosystems, and the ocean over the historical period (1750–2026). These living datasets are updated every year to provide the highest transparency and traceability in the reporting of CO2, the key driver of climate change.

Short summary
The ocean absorbs nearly a third of human-made carbon dioxide, slowing climate change. This uptake varies from decade to decade for reasons we do not fully understand. Using a 66-year ocean carbon dataset, we found that the tropical Pacific and Southern Ocean drive this variability, in step with broader climate patterns across the Pacific. But these patterns cannot fully explain the recent weakening of the Southern Ocean sink, suggesting biological processes may also play an important role.

This Perspective highlights requirements to scale the carbon credit market and enable the growth in climate solutions funded through such market. The requirements are on the understanding of the value of the proposed carbon credit projects, and on the availability of a verification system. This verification becomes particularly relevant as the carbon credit market scales to significant impacts on CO2 (or other greenhouse gases), such that attribution to collective actions can be identified.

Two Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs) collected observations of ocean/atmosphere pCO2 in 2022–2023 in the South Indian Ocean. The primary goal of the mission was to collect data within cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies during Austral Winter along the Polar Front. Unfortunate issues with the vehicles led to observations being collected in the spring and summer months and north of the Polar Front. Twelve eddies were sampled, but no meaningful relationship between pCO2 anomalies and eddies was found.

Presented here is a near-global monthly climatological estimate of the difference between atmosphere and ocean carbon dioxide concentrations. The ocean's ability to take up carbon, both now and in the future, is defined by this difference in concentrations. With over 30 million measurements of surface ocean carbon over the last 40 years and utilization of an extrapolation technique, a mean estimate of surface ocean ΔfCO2 is presented.

Oceanographers calculate the exchange of carbon between the ocean and atmosphere by comparing partial pressures of carbon dioxide (pCO2). Because seawater pCO2 is not measured everywhere at all times, interpolation schemes are required to fill observational gaps. We describe a monthly gap-filled dataset of pCO2 in the northeast Pacific Ocean off the west coast of North America created by machine-learning interpolation. This dataset is unique in its robust representation of coastal seasonality.

Short summary
Measurements of ocean carbon are limited in time and space. Machine learning algorithms are therefore used to reconstruct ocean carbon where observations do not exist. Improving these reconstructions is important in order to accurately estimate how much carbon the ocean absorbs from the atmosphere. In this study, we find that a small addition of observations from the Southern Ocean, obtained by autonomous sampling platforms, could significantly improve the reconstructions.
Measurements of ocean carbon are limited in time and space. Machine learning algorithms are...
