Emissions Gap Report, 2025:
Emissions Gap Report 2025 assessment has found that updated global climate pledges have resulted in only marginal progress towards limiting global warming.
- Emissions Gap Report is an annual report published by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
- The EGR series tracks our progress in limiting global warming well below 2°C and pursuing 1.5°C in line with the Paris Agreement.
- It is launched every year ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP).
- The EGR is co-produced by UNEP, the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre (UNEP-CCC) and partners.
Key Highlights of Emissions Gap Report, 2025:
- Even after countries fully implement their latest Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) under the Paris Agreement, global temperatures are projected to rise by 2.3-2.5 degrees Celsius (°C) this century.
- Global GHG emissions rose 2.3% in 2024, reaching 7 gigatonnes of CO₂ equivalent.
- Only 60 Parties, covering 63% of global emissions, have submitted new NDCs for 2035.
- To align with the 1.5°C target, emissions would need to fall by 55 per cent by 2035
