A new report from McKinsey predicts global fossil fuel demand 'will never return to its pre-pandemic growth curve', but warns the world is still on track to badly miss its climate goals. The influential consultancy giant today published a new report detailing how it expects global oil demand to peak in 2029, with gas demand peaking in 2037.
