Sentences with phrase «current emissions gap»

For the optimists the agreement made at the 17th UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Durban South Africa was surprisingly good: the Kyoto Protocol lives on; for the first time, 100 percent of the world's emissions will come under a later agreement in 2020; attendants created a process to address current emissions gap; and the conference saw final approval of the Green Fund to bring billions of dollars in climate aid to the developing world.

As a self - proclaimed «climate leader» the UK government has a critical role to play in closing the «emissions gap» — the gap between the current global trajectory of greenhouse gas emissions and the actions necessary to limit warming to 1.5 ˚C and «well below» 2 ˚C (and hence reduce the risks of disaster), they write.

In this notion, you break down the gap between the emissions level you want at some point in the future and the emissions level you will have at current rates of growth, and break it down into manageable fractions - wedges - that can each be addressed with specific policies.

This technical document provides the following information: - An update of global greenhouse gas emission estimates, based on a number of different authoritative scientific sources; - An overview of national emission levels, both current (2010) and projected (2020) consistent with current pledges and other commitments; - An estimate of the level of global emissions consistent with the two degree target in 2020, 2030 and 2050; - An update of the assessment of the «emissions gap» for 2020; - A review of selected examples of the rapid progress being made in different parts of the world to implement policies already leading to substantial emission reductions and how they can be scaled up and replicated in other countries, with the view to bridging the emissions gap.

This technical document presents the latest estimates of the emissions gap in 2020 and provides plentiful information, including about current (2010) and projected (2020) levels of global greenhouse gas emissions, both in the absence of additional policies and consistent with national pledge implementation; the implications of starting decided emission reductions now or in the coming decades; agricultural development policies that can help increase yields, reduce fertilizer usage and bring about other benefits, while reducing emissions of greenhouse gases; and, international cooperative initiatives that, while potentially overlapping with pledges, can complement them and help bridge the emissions gap.

This is the first time since the CAT began tracking action in 2009 that policies at a national level have visibly reduced its end - of - century temperature estimate and also reduced the 2030 emissions gap between current policies and what is needed to meet the 1.5 °C temperature limit.

Canada faces a significant gap between emissions reductions that would result from current climate policies and what is needed to reduce emissions by 30 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030, as promised in Paris.

Three major gaps can and must be bridged in the remaining time: the gap between current emission reduction pledges and the science; the gap between the finances on the table and the need in developing countries; and — perhaps most critically — the gap between nations where trust must be forged.

The report found that the gap between emissions levels consistent with meeting the target and levels expected if country pledges are met is likely to be 17 gigatons of CO2 in 2030 based on current trends.

The «well below 2C» aim is «technically feasible» and the past three years of stalled emissions favourable, the IEA says, but the gap compared to current action is «immense» and the challenge «formidable».

The Paris Agreement committed countries to addressing the «significant gap» between their current pledges and «aggregate emission pathways consistent with holding the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2 °C above preindustrial levels,» while also «pursuing efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C above preindustrial levels.»

The gap between the Paris temperature goals and the current policy scenario is higher still, given that many countries are not yet on track to achieve their emissions - reduction pledges, but this is to be expected given that pledges extending to 2030 are still fairly new.

The UN Environment Emissions Gap Report 2017 presents an assessment of current national mitigation efforts and the ambitions countries have presented in their Nationally Determined Contributions, which form the foundation of the Paris Agreement.

In the area of climate change, the report highlights the findings of its Emissions Gap Report 2013 — which details the gap between current global emissions and the reduction needed to remain on track to meet the 2 degree Celsius global warming target — and its Africa Adaptation Gap Report, which describes the costs of adaptation measures on the African continent under various global warming sEmissions Gap Report 2013 — which details the gap between current global emissions and the reduction needed to remain on track to meet the 2 degree Celsius global warming target — and its Africa Adaptation Gap Report, which describes the costs of adaptation measures on the African continent under various global warming scenariGap Report 2013 — which details the gap between current global emissions and the reduction needed to remain on track to meet the 2 degree Celsius global warming target — and its Africa Adaptation Gap Report, which describes the costs of adaptation measures on the African continent under various global warming scenarigap between current global emissions and the reduction needed to remain on track to meet the 2 degree Celsius global warming target — and its Africa Adaptation Gap Report, which describes the costs of adaptation measures on the African continent under various global warming semissions and the reduction needed to remain on track to meet the 2 degree Celsius global warming target — and its Africa Adaptation Gap Report, which describes the costs of adaptation measures on the African continent under various global warming scenariGap Report, which describes the costs of adaptation measures on the African continent under various global warming scenarios.
