Ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Brazil, the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) will officially launch its annual Emissions Gap Report during a press conference at 1am AEDT on November 5. The UNEP Emissions Gap Report series provides a yearly review of the gap between where global emissions are heading with countries’ current commitments and where they ought to be to limit warming to below 2°C and 1.5°C. Each edition explores ways to bridge the emissions gap. This year’s report reviews country commitments in the new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), analyses future emissions pathways, and highlights global warming implications. It places a sharp focus on implementation, turning pledges into real action.
