Emissions Gap Report 2024

The Emissions Gap Report is UNEP's annual institutional report that is published ahead of the annual climate negotiations. The publication tracks the gap between the global emissions situation with countries' current commitments and where they should be to limit warming to below 2°C and aim to reach 1.5°C in line with the Paris Agreement's temperature targets. Each edition explores ways to bridge the emissions gap, addressing specific issues of interest and relevance to the negotiations each year.

This year, the report focuses on the need and options to accelerate climate action and achieve global ambition levels in line with the Paris Agreement's temperature targets in the next generation of National Determined Contributions (NDCs) (https://unfccc.int/process-and-meetings/the-paris-agreement/nationally-determined-contributions-ndcs), expected in 2025.
