Global carbon emissions must fall by more than 7% a year for the next decade to meet targets set out by the Paris Agreement on climate change, the UN has warned.
In an annual report published Tuesday, the UN Environment Programme said its outlook for climate change was "bleak," adding that countries had "collectively failed to stop the growth in global greenhouse emissions, meaning that deeper and faster cuts are now required."
In order to limit temperature rises to 2 degrees Celsius, UNEP said global emissions now need to fall by 2.7% per year for the next 10 years, while an annual emissions cut of 7.6% will be required to meet the 1.5 degrees Celsius target. Its authors called on G-20 members — which account for 78% of all emissions — to lead the way, claiming enhanced action from those economies would be "essential for the global mitigation effort."China, for example, should ban all new coal-fired plants, continue governmental support for renewables and support the uptake of electric vehicles.
