UN Data on Global Emissions

Global emissions are showing concerning patterns, according to the most recent UN data. Despite improvements in electric cars and renewable energy, global temperatures are expected to climb by 2.6°C above pre-industrial levels. The temperature might rise to 3.1°C if present regulations are not modified. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres cautions that if we don't close the emissions gap, the poor will be disproportionately affected by a climate catastrophe.

Trends because the emissions that are calculated on these dates are always measured globally and never from a nation.

• Global emissions rise from 37.8 billion tonnes in 1990 to 57.1 billion tonnes in October 2023 (+1.3% vs. 2022).
• These mention to the step-up in national climate targets (NDCs) for 2035 as part of the Paris Agreement, where nations are currently preparing their NDCs.
• To keep with the 1.5°C goal, global emissions should fall by 42% by 2030 and 57% by2035.

Mobilisation for Change

Emission reduction strategies

• Dubai agreement implementation
• Boost solar and wind energy deployment

Forests and Land Use

• Likewise, forest management can provide 20% of the emission reduction potential in both 2030 and 2035.

Transition from Fossil Fuels

• Important for climate targets: Less coal, oil and gas.

Investment for Mitigation

• A six-fold increase in mitigation funding is urgently needed
