Emissions Gap Report (2025)

The UNEP Emissions Gap Report provides a yearly review of emissions trends and explains where they should be to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. This report, the 16th edition, analyses new nationally determined contributions and long-term pledges; examines global emissions trends and the emissions gap in 2030 and 2035; and explains the temperature implications of the emissions gap and of delayed action on the 1.5°C pathways. This is a helpful resource for remaining abreast of the 'commitment' gap and for understanding how ambitious your climate change-related goals will need to be in order to do your part in slowing and reversing the global rise in GHG emissions.
