RT null T1 Emissions Gap Report 2012 - Executive Summary A1 United Nations Environment Programme, K1 climate change K1 ozone layer K1 green economy K1 greenhouse gas YR 2012 FD 2012 LK https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/32425 UL https://wedocs.unep.org/handle/20.500.11822/32425 NO One of the fundamental questions in the global climate negotiations is: what level of “ambition”, in terms of collective emission reductions, is needed to protect global climate? To help answer this question UNEP and the scientific community have published a series of reports on the “emissions gap1” since 2010. Of particular interest to the ambition question is the gap in 2020 between emission levels consistent with the 2oC climate target and emissions levels projected if country reduction pledges are fulfilled. If there is a gap, then there is doubt that the ambition of countries is great enough to meet the agreed-upon 2oC climate target DS UN Environment Document Repository RD Sep 23, 2026
