Almost half of the nations in the world, without updated climate plans prior to COP-26
Just over half of the world's nations have submitted updated climate plans ahead of the crucial climate summit in Glasgow later this year, and the UK is now pushing for countries such as China and India to draw up decarbonisation plans.
According to edie , last Friday marked the deadline for submitting new or updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement. These commitments detail the timelines for the required decarbonization that contribute to the 2C or 1.5C target of the global climate agreement.
no updated climate plans
The UNFCCC has confirmed that it has received new or updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) from 110 of the 197 nations that the UN recognizes. While this is an increase of 35 submissions compared to the end of 2020, only 58% of the world's nations have met this deadline.
These new commitments will be included in a new synthesis report to be published ahead of COP26 and will provide a timely temperature check on global efforts to combat the climate crisis. Current UN data suggests that, according to the NDC, the world is on track for 3°C warming.
Separate data from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) also warns that emissions must have been reduced by at least 45% by 2030 compared to 2010 levels to put the world on track to alleviate the worst impacts of the climate crisis.
New or updated NDCs have been issued Chile Mobile Number List from countries such as Israel, Sri Lanka, Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Namibia, Malaysia and Malawi. However, there are notable exclusions from the latest NDC submissions, namely from China and India.
Responding to the deadline, UNFCCC Executive Secretary Patricia Espinosa said:
Emission reduction must be a constant and cumulative process. I call on countries that were unable to meet this deadline to redouble their efforts, and fulfill their commitment under the Paris Agreement to renew or update their NDCs.
I also encourage those who have submitted their NDCs to continue to review and improve their level of ambition. In doing so, they will contribute to the preservation of our planet and the well-being of people around the world.
Patricia Espinosa, executive secretary of the UNFCCC.
UK pressure over updated climate plans
Nations are expected to submit new NDCs every five years, under the terms of the Paris Agreement.
The UK has submitted its updated NDC ahead of COP26. The UK government will aim to reduce emissions by 68% by 2030, while under the Sixth Carbon Budget national emissions will be reduced by 78% by 2035.
As host of COP26, the UK is expected to encourage, or indeed pressure, other nations to bring forward climate action plans ahead of COP26 in November. This pressure will be felt by the G20 nations.
COP26 November 2021 without updated climate plans
G20 member countries collectively allocated subsidies in excess of $3.3 trillion to the oil, coal, gas and fossil fuel electricity generation sectors between 2015 and 2019, a level incompatible with the Paris Agreement.
That's according to a major new report from Bloomberg NEF and Bloomberg Philanthropies, titled "Climate Policy Factbook." The policies evaluated cover three areas:
Phase out financial support for fossil fuels.
Put a price on emissions.
Promote the disclosure of climate risks.
Of the G20 nations, only France and Italy were considered to be making good policy progress in all three aspects.
Particular alarm is being sounded over the lack of progress in phasing out financial support for fossil fuels. The report highlights the fact that direct support for fossil fuels by G20 governments in 2019 exceeded $636 billion, a decrease of only 10% since the ratification of the Paris Agreement in 2015.
