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.

The country developed its last official national GHG inventory for the 2005 calendar year, which makes it challenging to get an accurate read on current non-CO2 GHG emissions.

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.

The Climate Scoreboard calculates the long - term global temperature rise if all the current national proposals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions were implemented.

The steepness of these curves superimposed on actual national ghg emissions levels is an indication of the enormity of the challenge for the international community because the emissions reduction curves are much steeper than reductions that can be expected under projections of what current national commitments are likely to achieve if fully implemented.

If some consideration for historical responsibility is not taken into account in allocating national responsibility for ghg emissions reductions, then those poor nations which have done very little to create the current threat of climate change will be required to shoulder a greater burden of needed global ghg emissions obligations than would be required of them if responsibility for the existing problem is not taken into account.

Jasmin Cantzler, Climate Policy Analyst Leads the Climate Action Tracker, analyses the impact of current policies, pledges, targets and NDCs on national emissions.

In light of the fact that any attempt to reach consensus on the operationalization of equity will run into conflicts with national interest, the paper recommends a completely new approach that would fund a new carbon revolution while abandoning the current approach in which nations make individual emissions reductions commitments consistent with what equity requires of them.
