The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) has released the full version of the 2015 Emissions Gap Report, which found that the world was around halfway toward the emissions cuts needed to limit global temperature rise to 2°C by 2100.
The report presents an assessment of the 119 Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) submitted the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) by 1 October 2015.
It found that efforts to tackle climate change, including those taken before the Paris agreement and full implementation of the INDCs, could cut up to 11 GtCO2e from projected emissions in 2030.
The full Emissions Gap Report can be downloaded from UNEP Live, along with a breakdown of the INDCs by country.
