The United Nations climate secretariat made public a ‘synthesis report’.
The synthesis report ties into a larger exercise called the ‘global stocktake.
It is expected to take place once in five years.
In 2015, global countries committed in Paris to keep global temperatures from rising beyond 2 degrees Celsius by the end of the century and “as far as possible” below 1.5 degrees Celsius.
They also agreed to periodically review, or take stock of efforts, made by individual countries in containing greenhouse gases and transitioning their fossil-fuel dependent energy systems to renewable sources.
The report suggests that the world is not on track to achieve Paris Agreement targets.
The NDCs of 166 countries were analysed to conclude that they were inadequate to meet Paris-agreed targets.
Much more ambition was needed to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 43% by 2030.
It is also required further by 60% in 2035 and reach net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 globally.
5.8-5.9 trillion USD in the pre-2030 period is required for developing countries to achieve the result.
Also, 4 trillion USD is needed per year for clean energy technologies by 2030 to reach net zero by 2050.
