The Emissions Gap Report 2025 finds that global warming projections over this century are 2.3-2.5°C, down from 2.6-2.8°C last year.
the report argues action and leadership by the Group of 20 (G20) will be pivotal in narrowing the emissions gap.
ahead of the 2025 UN Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP30), the UN Environment Program (UNEP) published its annual report that tracks the gap between the actual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and where they ought to be to meet the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change. The Emissions Gap Report 2025 finds that global warming projections over this century are 2.3-2.5°C, down from 2.6-2.8°C last year.
implementation of current policies only would translate to 2.8°C of warming, compared to 3.1°C last year.
the report is titled, ‘Off Target: Continued Collective Inaction Puts Global Temperature Goal at Risk.’ It highlights that while ambition and implementation continue to fall short of what is needed, every fraction of a degree matters.
