National Contribution Declarations Synthesis Report Has Been Published
07 May 2025UN: “Countries' national climate plans are still far from limiting global warming”
Governments' national commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are reportedly well below the level needed to limit "catastrophic global warming"
The National Contribution Declarations (NDC) Synthesis Report, which includes the United Nations (UN) Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) commitments of countries to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the fight against climate change, has been published.
The report includes NDCs submitted or updated as of September for 195 countries party to the Paris Agreement. These NDCs cover 95 percent of total global emissions, estimated to be 52.9 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2019.
According to the report, the NDCs submitted by countries to the UN ensure that global emissions are reduced by 2.6 percent compared to 2019 levels by 2030.
However, this rate is far from the 43 percent reduction level that scientists consider necessary to limit the global temperature increase to 1.5 degrees in the Paris Agreement.
In this context, the UNFCCC called for the new national climate plans to be prepared by countries to contain more ambitious commitments and to quickly put these commitments into practice in order to limit "catastrophic global warming".
UNFCCC Executive Secretary Simon Stiell, in his evaluation of the report, stated that today's NDC report should be a turning point and said, "The era of inadequacy must now end and the era of acceleration must begin next year with new, more ambitious national climate plans from every country. The findings of the report are striking but not surprising. Current national climate plans are far from what is needed to stop global warming from destroying billions of lives and livelihoods and paralyzing economies all over the world." He said.
Noting that more ambitious new climate plans will not only prevent climate chaos and be transformative for people and welfare in every country when implemented well, Stiell stated that these plans will provide many benefits such as stronger investments, economic growth, more employment, healthy life, safe and cheap energy.
Stiell shared the information that if current climate plans are fully implemented, emissions in 2030 will be at the level of 51.5 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent, and made the following assessment:
"This level is only 2.6 percent lower than in 2019. Greenhouse gas pollution at these levels would guarantee a human and economic disaster for every country without exception. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change states that greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by 43 percent from 2019 levels by 2030. By 2035, global net greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced by 60 percent from 2019 levels. This is to prevent the worst climate impacts "This is critical to limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees this century. There must be a dramatic increase in climate action and targets in the next national climate plans."
