Description
This note provides an overview and comparison of the projections of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and global warming reported in the 2024 editions of the UNEP Emissions Gap Report and the UNFCCC Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) Synthesis Report. As for the 2023 editions, the two reports present fully consistent messages despite differences in approaches and modelling choices. A key difference between the two reports is that the UNEP Report is based on a consideration of recent scientific studies and modeling results focused on updates from key countries, whereas the UNFCCC report presents an analysis covering all countries (but without providing country-by-country detail). Both reports confirm that there continues to be a large gap in 2030 between the emissions resulting from full implementation of current country pledges and what science tells us is required to limit warming to well below 2°C and 1.5°C. Both reports are also consistent in clearly indicating that currently the world is far from a path that would limit global warming to well below 2°C or 1.5°C over the course of this century.
