Worrying Gap on Meeting Paris Aligned Temperature Target

For the world to meet Paris aligned 1.5 degree temperate target,  global net human-caused emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) need to fall by about 45 percent from 2010 levels by 2030, reaching net zero around 2050

Global trend on Missing Net Zero Target

While progress has been made in combating climate change, the world is far from being on track to meet the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement,

The UN’s most recent Emissions Gap Report issues a clear warning: Current policies and national climate commitments fall well short of what’s needed to rein in climate change. Current policies alone will achieve less than a 1% reduction by 2030 and 2035, Governments’ 2030 targets will lead to 2.5°C of warming by the end of the century

According to Climate action tracker, The benchmark emissions from a 1.5°C compatible pathway are at 27 GtCO2e in 2030. The emissions gap between this level and 2030 NDCs (excluding hot air) is 19–22 GtCO2e in 2030 (the ‘targets gap’), and 24-27 GtCO2e in 2030 for current policies and action (the ‘implementation gap’
