New UN Climate Change report shows national climate plans 'fall miles short of what's needed'
Tomorrow (Monday 28 October) UN Climate Change will release the 2024 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) Synthesis Report.
The report assesses the combined impact of nations’ current national climate plans (NDCs) on expected global emissions in 2030, among other measures.
· The near-final version of the report, which can be downloaded at this link. Please note that the report is subject to some minor tweaking and/or cosmetic edits ahead of official launch.
· Below in this email a written statement on the report from Simon Stiell, UN Climate Change Executive Secretary, noting it must mark a “turning point, ending the era of inadequacy and sparking a new age of acceleration”, with much bolder new plans from all nations next year.

· Key takeouts include:
o Current NDCs combined would see global emissions in 2030 at a level only 2.6 per cent lower than in 2019 (For reference, last year’s NDC Synthesis Report showed combined NDCs leading to global emissions in 2030 at a level 2.0 per cent lower than in 2019).
o This falls far short of the 43% reduction by 2030 that is required to avert the worst impacts of climate change, on the way to net-zero emissions by 2050, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
o With countries currently working on new NDCs due next year, this year’s report shows only marginal progress from last year, and only a fraction of what is expected – and urgently needed – next year, as the Executive Secretary notes in his statement below.
