We’re on a path for 3 degrees C over pre-industrial temperatures, much higher than the target of 1.5-2 C, says the United Nations Environment Program.
The emissions gap for 2030 is 12 to 14
GtCO2e compared with 2°C scenarios, for
1.5°C the gap is three GtCO2e larger. Even
if fully implemented, the unconditional
Intended Nationally Determined Contributions
are only consistent with staying
below an increase in temperature of 3.2°C
by 2100 and 3.0°C, if conditional Intended
Nationally Determined Contributions are
included.
