The world is dangerously off course in meeting the Paris climate deal’s goals for reducing carbon pollution and boosting finance for the developing world, according to the UN’s first Global Stocktake of progress on the treaty.
The 2015 Paris Agreement has successfully driven climate action, but “much more is needed now on all fronts”, said the report published on Friday, which will underpin a crucial climate summit in Dubai at the end of the year.
“Against forecasts made prior to its adoption, the Paris Agreement has led to contributions that significantly reduce forecasts of future warming,” the report noted.
“Yet the world is not on track to meet the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement.”
