The latest UNEP Emissions Gap Report-2019 warns that the average temperature of the Earth may rise
by 3.2 degrees Celsius by 2021. Despite all the scientific warnings and political commitments emissions
of greenhouse gases (GHG) couldn’t decrease globally.

A report released prior to the United Nations Climate Conference COP-25 to be held in Spain from
December 2 states that GHG emissions have increased by 1.5 per cent since the last decade. Carbon
dioxide (CO2) emissions have reached an all-time high figure of 55.3 gigatons.
India Specific Findings

• The UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2019 highlights that China, USA, EU28 and India are the among top
four greenhouse gas emitters.

• The UNEP report says that India is regularly considering deadlines and targets to curb carbon emission.

• The report highlights that India is one of the leading countries that are looking for electric vehicle
development.

• It describes that in 2018, India’s 7 per cent of global emissions grew 5.5 per cent.

• The report also informed that India’s per capita emission is one of the lowest within G20 countries.

Global Findings

• The report suggested that if GHG emissions reduced by 7.6 per cent every year during the period 2020
to 2030, only then the target of reducing global temperature can be achieved.

• All countries must reduce GHG emissions by up to five times. It will make the world to achieve the
target of 1.5 ° C.

• The report informs that the largest contribution comes from the energy sector and its fossil fuel
emissions.

• The report highlights that if the global temperature reaches at the level of 1.5 degrees then coral reefs
would be reduced by 70-90 per cent.

• UNEP report clarifies that the world would be warmer 3.2 degrees that pre-industrial level by 2100.
