from the United Nations Climate Change secretariat has indicated that the current commitments will still increase emissions by 10.6 per cent by 2030, and will spell doom for humanity if more efforts are not made by the concerned parties.
In a 2021 analysis, it showed that projected emissions would continue to increase beyond 2030 but this year's analysis shows that while emissions are no longer increasing after 2030, they are still not demonstrating the rapid downward trend science says is necessary this decade. This, the report noted, is critical to meeting the Paris Agreement goal of limiting temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius by the end of this century and avoiding the worst impacts of climate change, including more frequent and severe droughts, heatwaves and rainfall.
Most of the Parties that submitted new or updated NDCs are said to have strengthened their commitment to reducing or limiting greenhouse gas emissions by 2025 and/or 2030, demonstrating increased ambition in addressing climate change. Current long-term strategies account for 83 per cent of the world's GDP, 47 per cent of the global population in 2019, and around 69 per cent of total energy consumption in 2019. This is a strong signal that the world is starting to aim for net-zero emissions.
