Beijing News Express (reporter Chen Yikai) On October 26, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) released the "Emission Gap Report 2021". According to the report, according to the current emission reduction measures of countries around the world, the average global temperature will rise by 2.7 °C by the end of this century, which is much higher than the Paris Agreement's goal of controlling global temperature rise. This result will lead to catastrophic climate change.

If countries' carbon neutrality commitments are effectively implemented, the average global temperature will rise by 2.2 °C by the end of the century, close to the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting global average temperature rise to less than 2 °C.

The report notes that if the Paris Agreement target of efforts to limit the rise in global average temperatures to 1.5 °C is to be met, the world will need to halve annual global greenhouse gas emissions over the next eight years.

The report argues that reducing methane emissions from fossil fuels, waste and agriculture can help narrow the emissions gap; in addition, the report says that the carbon trading market also helps to reduce emissions, but only if there are clear rules and emission reduction targets, supported by sound and transparent progress tracking.

According to the BBC, UN Secretary-General António Guterres said that the scientific report was once again a wake-up call for humanity as the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) was about to open.

According to the United Nations Environment Programme, the Annual Emissions Gap Report has assessed the gap between global greenhouse gas emissions and emission reduction targets for 12 consecutive years.
