UNEP has published its 2024 Emissions Gap Report, which looks at how much greenhouse gas cuts countries must commit to in the next round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), due in early 2025 ahead of COP30. To meet the 1.5°C target, emissions would need to be cut by 42% by 2030 and 57% by 2035. Without raising the ambition of these new NDCs and starting implementation now, the world is on track to warm by 2.6-3.1°C this century. This will have devastating impacts on people, the planet and economies. Achieving 1.5°C is still technically possible, with solar, wind and forests promising broad and rapid emissions reductions. Realizing this potential urgently requires support from a whole-of-government approach, measures to maximize socioeconomic and environmental co-benefits, enhanced international cooperation (including reforms to the global financial architecture), strong private sector action and at least a sixfold increase in mitigation investments. The G20 countries, especially the largest emitters, need to shoulder the heavy responsibility. Key findings
