UN – The Closing Window – Climate Crisis Calls for Rapid Transformation of Societies – Executive Summary

Since COP 26, there has been very limited progress in reducing the immense emissions gap for 2030, the gap between emissions reductions promised and the emissions reductions needed to achieve the temperature goal of the Paris Agreement. Countries’ new and updated nationally determined contributions (NDCs) submitted since COP 26 reduce projected global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2030 by only 0.5 gigatons of CO2 equivalent (GtCO2e), compared with emissions projections based on mitigation pledges at the time of COP 26. Countries are off track to achieve even the globally highly insufficient NDCs.
