Hypothesis: India will reach the 50% emissions reduction goal by 2030. Analysis: India updated its nationally determined contributions (NDCs). It submitted the same to UNFCCC in August 2022, stating its commitment to reduce the emissions intensity of its gross domestic product (GDP) by 45% by 2030, from 2005 levels; achieve 50% cumulative electric power installed...
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a synthesis of its three-part Sixth Assessment Report in March 2023. The report warns that without stronger action on climate, the world is on track to warm 2.7°C (5 °F) by 2100. This is well above the goal of keeping global temperature rise below 1.5 °C, which will...
The EU has set a goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 55% by 2030 and has outlined the steps that will need to be taken in order to achieve this goal in its 2030 Climate Target Plan. In light of this, the EU should reach or slightly exceed the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change’s...
The latest installment of the IPCC’s Assessment Report AR6 stipulates that countries will have to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% over 1990 temperatures by 2030. Will China, the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitter, achieve this goal?While there is no crystal ball to fully predict the future of China’s emissions, the latest IPCC report has...
The IPCC has underscored the urgency of countries reducing their greenhouse gas emissions (GGEs) by 50% over pre-industrial temperatures by 2030. Visit https://www.un.org/en/climatechange/reports. Canada will come close to reducing its emissions by 50% by 2030 because of the following reasons:First, Canada’s 2030 Emissions Reduction Plan (ERP) (March 2022) details a GGE reduction target strategy of...
At the 26th United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP26) in November ‘21, Brazil announced the goal of reducing carbon emissions by 50% by 2030. The Brazilian government expects that, in 2050, the country will not release carbon emissions into the atmosphere. It will become carbon neutral at that time.The Ministry of the Environment presented...
In June 2022, the new Australian left-wing Labor federal government committed to a revised target of reducing emissions by 43% below 2005 levels by 2030 and reaching net zero emissions by 2050. This was an increase on the previous commitment of reducing its greenhouse gas emissions by 26 to 28% below 2005 levels by 2030...
