UN report calls for 42% emissions reduction by 2030
“It remains technically possible to get on a 1.5°C pathway."
The latest UN Environmental Programme (UNEP) Emissions Gap report urges world leaders to support a 42% emissions cut by 2030 to get back to 1.5ºC warming this century.
The report warns that current policies and action have us on track for up to 3.1ºC global warming this century and calls for “dramatically stronger” climate ambition and action as governments prepare their next round of nationally determined contributions (NDCs).
