UN: Global climate plans to lower greenhouse gas emissions 

The analysis by the United Nations’ climate change secretariat (UNFCCC) suggested that, if countries’ plans for tackling climate change are carried out, the yearly amount of planet-warming gases added to the atmosphere would decrease 10 percent by 2035, from 2019 levels.

The calculation marked the first time the UNFCCC has forecast a steady decline in global emissions, which have consistently increased since 1990.

The projected 10 percent cut is far short of the 60 percent emissions drop needed by 2035 to limit global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial temperatures — the threshold beyond which scientists say it would unleash far more severe impacts.
