UN Environment Programme report urges 42% greenhouse gas emissions cut, current pledges only 10%.

The UN Environment Programme's Emission Gap Report urges nations to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 42% by 2030 and 57% by 2035 to avoid catastrophic warming of over 3.1°C by century's end. Current pledges are insufficient, potentially leading to only a 10% reduction by 2030. The report emphasizes urgent global action, highlighting the need for increased renewable energy adoption to achieve the 1.5°C goal and mitigate severe climate impacts.
