New research published by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and Climate Analytics reveals the crucial impact of
In the published report, G20 countries, which cause 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions, will cause a temperature increase of 2.4°C in the world by the end of the century with their current climate targets. However, if these countries set ambitious emissions reduction targets for 2030 in line with the 1.5°C target and achieve net zero emissions by 2050, global temperature rise by the end of the century could be limited to 1.7°C.
The report also states that if the 2030 targets are not strengthened, countries will need to implement drastic emissions reductions that will not be able to be achieved cost-effectively after 2030. For this reason, it is stated that countries should quickly curb their emissions in the 2020s.
