The Emissions Gap Report 2013
The report presents the latest estimates of the emissions gap in 2020 and provides plentiful information about:
- current (2010) and projected (2020) levels of global greenhouse gas emissions, both in the absence of additional policies and consistent with national pledge implementation,
- the implications of starting decided emission reductions now or in the coming decades,
- agricultural development policies that can help increase yields, reduce fertilizer usage and bring about other benefits, while reducing emissions of greenhouse gases,
- international cooperative initiatives that, while potentially overlapping with pledges, can complement them and help bridge the emissions gap.
UNEP has also prepared a free app that gives you access to past and current updates of the 'emissions gap' report, video interviews and a range of interactive graphics. The graphics explain what the 'emissions gap' is, how it can be closed, and why efforts to close it should start today. See the links column on the right to be redirected to the app pages.
