🏭 Chart: Coal Consumption by Region (1965-2023)

Despite efforts to decarbonize the economy, global coal consumption surpassed 164 exajoules for the first time in 2023. The fossil fuel still accounts for 26% of the world’s total energy consumption.

China is by far the largest consumer of coal, accounting for 56% of the global total, with 91.94 exajoules in 2023.

It is followed by India, with 21.98 exajoules, and the U.S., with 8.20 exajoules. In 2023, India exceeded the combined consumption of Europe and North America for the first time.

Regionally, North America, Europe, and even the Rest of World have seen a decline in coal consumption since the 1990s. The Asia-Pacific region, however, has made up for this demand and more, with consumption soaring since about the year 2000.

🇵🇦🤝🇺🇸 Migration to US Through Panama’s Jungle Cut by 80% on Tighter Curbs

➡️ US and Panama’s new government increase controls for migrants

➡️ Immigration is a top issue in the US presidential election

The number of migrants trekking toward the US through the dangerous Darien jungle route fell to a two-year low after President Joe Biden and Panama’s new government imposed tighter controls.

Some 16,603 migrants crossed into Central America from Colombia in August, according to Panama’s migration institute, down 80% from the same month in 2023.

Most of the people taking this route plan to cross Central America and Mexico to get to the US southern border. Immigration is among the top concerns for voters in this year’s election between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

In June, Biden issued an executive order limiting asylum claims. Then, in July, Panama’s new President Jose Raul Mulino took office and closed six of the seven border crossings from Colombia and increased patrols.

Border closures by Venezuela after its disputed presidential election may also have reduced the flow. Of the migrants through the Darien last month, 71% were Venezuelans, followed by Colombians, Vietnamese, Ecuadoreans, Indians and Haitians.
