UN Emissions & Adaptation Gap Report 202
The United Nations has invited us to design one of their twin flagship publications the Emissions Gap & Adaptation Gap Report 2020.
The goal of the Paris Agreement on climate change, as agreed at the Conference of the Parties in 2015, is to keep global temperature rise this century to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. It also calls for efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2020 analyses low-carbon recovery measures so far, summarizes the scale of new net-zero emissions pledges by nations and looks at the potential of the lifestyle, aviation and shipping sectors to bridge the gap.
