If the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) of all countries are implemented, global emission levels will be 2 per cent lower in 2030 compared to 2019 levels, according to a new report. This is grossly insufficient to limit global temperatures to under 1.5 degrees Celsius, for which emissions need to reduce by 43 per cent in 2030 compared to 2019, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
