  • The United Nations climate secretariat made public a ‘synthesis report’.
  • The synthesis report ties into a larger exercise called the ‘global stocktake.
  • It is expected to take place once in five years.
  • In 2015, global countries committed in Paris to keep global temperatures from rising beyond 2 degrees Celsius by the end of the century and “as far as possible” below 1.5 degrees Celsius.
  • They also agreed to periodically review, or take stock of efforts, made by individual countries in containing greenhouse gases and transitioning their fossil-fuel dependent energy systems to renewable sources.
  • The report suggests that the world is not on track to achieve Paris Agreement targets.
  • The NDCs of 166 countries were analysed to conclude that they were inadequate to meet Paris-agreed targets.
  • Much more ambition was needed to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 43% by 2030.
  • It is also required further by 60% in 2035 and reach net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 globally.
  • 5.8-5.9 trillion USD in the pre-2030 period is required for developing countries to achieve the result.
  • Also, 4 trillion USD is needed per year for clean energy technologies by 2030 to reach net zero by 2050.
