Virtual Event

Are global emissions on track to meet the promises of the Paris Agreement? Anne Olhoff explores where we are headed, where we need to be, and how we get there.

Event Summary

The UNEP Emissions Gap Reports provide annual assessments of the gap between estimated future global GHG emissions if countries implement their climate mitigation pledges and the global emission levels aligned with achieving the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to well below 2°C and pursuing 1.5°C. Based on the latest science and the most recent climate change mitigation pledges made by countries before and during the latest climate conference in Glasgow, this talk provides an overview of where we are in terms of global emissions, where we are headed, where we need to be and how we get there.
