New theme page launched on UNEP Live

The Emissions Gap Report:
UNEP conducts periodic scientific assessments of the Emissions Gap on climate change mitigation scenarios. It focuses on examining the gap in 2030 between emission levels consistent with the 2 °C limit, and levels expected if country pledges/commitments are met. UNEP reports that the gap is large, but can be bridged through concerted action that promotes both development goals and climate change mitigation
