‘Frightening gap’: Current 2035 NDCs expected to result in 17% emissions reduction
Countries representing around 64% of global emissions have still not submitted their 2035 NDCs.
Based on the national climate targets submitted by 64 countries so far, the UN expects global emissions to drop by just 17% from 2019 levels – far short of the 60% necessary to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement.
In a synthesis report published today ahead of COP30, UNFCCC summarised the 64 nationally determined contributions (NDCs) submitted by September 30, 2025 – covering roughly 30% of global emissions.
