Wednesday, November 8, 2023

BOSTON, Nov. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Global emissions, which are continuing to rise by 1.5% a year, must be cut by 7% annually until 2030 to limit global warming to 1.5°C, as agreed by countries who signed the Paris Agreement in 2015. This size of emissions reduction is unprecedented, surpassing the percentage of reduced global emissions during the shutdowns caused by the Covid-19 crisis. Progress has been made in a number of areas, but significant gaps remain in national commitments and policies, corporate climate action, green-technology scaling, and funding.

Key Points: 
  • This size of emissions reduction is unprecedented, surpassing the percentage of reduced global emissions during the shutdowns caused by the Covid-19 crisis.
  • The publication underscores the worrying state of our planet's climate, and the urgency of taking immediate substantial action to combat global warming.
  • As of mid-2023, the share of global emissions covered by national net zero targets exceeded 80%—up from virtually zero only a few years ago.
  • However, only a third of global emissions are covered by net zero targets for 2050—the rough target date required to maintain a 1.5°C limit.
