According to the UN Emissions Gap 2024 report, the projected increase of the world’s average temperature is 2,6 °C this century. The predicted 2030 greenhouse gases of the world still need to decrease by 42 per cent for the 1.5°C pathway set in the Paris Agreement, and 28 per cent for the 2 °C pathway. To scale down rapidly in energy use, countries need measures that maximize socio-economic and environmental co-benefits while reducing trade-offs, a minimum six-fold increase in mitigation investment, backed up by a reform of the global financial architecture and strong private sector action. This particularly applies to the G20 countries and their largest emitters.
