Charting a Path Forward: President Wickremesinghe Urges Action in the Face of Alarming Climate Predictions. In a compelling address at the 28th session of the Conference of Parties (CoP28) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Dubai, UAE Friday (01), President Ranil Wickremesinghe acknowledged the historical significance of the UN Conference...
Since the signing of the Paris Agreement in 2015, global progress has reduced the projected 2030 increase in greenhouse gas emissions from 16% to 3%. However, achieving the Agreement's temperature targets requires a much more accelerated transition to economy-wide, low-carbon development, with a particular focus on the energy transition.
Taking stock of global progress towards achieving the Paris Agreement requires consistently measuring aggregate national actions and pledges against modelled mitigation pathways1. However, national greenhouse gas inventories (NGHGIs) and scientific assessments of anthropogenic emissions follow different accounting conventions for land-based carbon fluxes resulting in a large difference in the present emission estimates2,3, a gap that will evolve over time. Using state-of-the-art methodologies4 and a land carbon-cycle emulator5, we align the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)-asse...
