| Report Title | Emissions Gap Report 2025, titled "Off Target" |
| Publisher | United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) |
| Key Warning | Current climate pledges under the Paris Agreement are insufficient to meet the 1.5°C target. |
| Projected Warming Levels | - Current policies: 2.8°C by 2100 - Full NDC implementation: 2.3-2.5°C - Marginal improvement from 2024 estimate (2.6-2.8°C). |
| Influencing Factors | - Methodological adjustments: Improved projections by 0.1°C - US withdrawal from Paris Agreement: Offset 0.1°C gain. |
| Reduction Targets by 2035 | - 2°C target: Emissions must decline by 35% below 2019 levels. - 1.5°C target: Emissions must fall by 55% below 2019 levels. - Temporary overshoot of 1.5°C likely in the next decade. |
| Positive Indicators | - Projected temperature rise dropped from 3-3.5°C (2015) to 2.5°C (2025). - Rapid scaling of solar and wind technologies, reducing deployment costs globally. |
| UNEP Overview | - Established in 1972 after the UN Conference on the Human Environment (Stockholm). - Headquarters: Nairobi, Kenya. - Acts as the leading global environmental authority. |
