The UN Environment Programme's latest emissions gap report warns of a temperature rise beyond Paris Agreement targets due to failures in reducing emissions. Learn more.

As global temperatures and greenhouse gas emissions break records, the latest Emissions Gap Report from the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) finds that current pledges under the Paris Agreement put the world on track for a 2.5-2.9 degrees ...

Earth is speeding to 2.5 to 2.9 degrees Celsius (4.5 to 5.2 degrees Fahrenheit) of global warming since pre-industrial times, set to blow well past the agreed-upon international climate threshold, a United Nations report calculated. To have an even money shot at keeping warming to the 1.5-degree Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) limit adopted by the […]

Global greenhouse gas emissions remain far above levels required to meet goals set by the Paris Agreement, the United Nations reported Monday.

Negotiations on a global plastic treaty stalled in Kenya at the weekend, with some non-government groups describing the talks as a ‘massive failure’.

The latest Emissions Gap Report from the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) reveals that current pledges under the Paris Agreement are insufficient to prevent global temperatures from rising by 2.5-2.9 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels this century. The report emphasizes the urgent need for increased climate action and low-carbon transformations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve the Paris Agreement goals, mitigation efforts must be significantly strengthened in the next decad...

The UN Environment Programme (UNEP) has warned that countries greenhouse gas-cutting pledges are putting the Earth on track for catastrophic warming of up to 2.9 degrees Celsius this century. The annual Emissions Gap report calls on G20 nations to increase emissions cuts, as the world continues to pump record levels of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. UNEP urges countries to make more ambitious and urgent efforts to reduce fossil fuel use and deforestation.

UN report says world is racing to well past warming limit as carbon emissions rise instead of plunge

The UN Environment Programme's annual Emissions Gap report is released just ahead of crucial COP28 climate talks in Dubai.

A new United Nations report calculates that the globe is speeding to 2.5 to 2.9 degrees Celsius (4.5 to 5.2 degrees Fahrenheit) of global warming since pre-industrial times, set to blow well past the agreed upon international climate threshold.
