Emissions Gap report.</p> <p>Countries are cutting emissions in myriad ways, such as <a href="https://www.iea.org/news/clean-sources-of-generation-are-set-to-cover-all-of-the-world-s-additional-electricity-demand-over-the-next-three-years" target="_blank" rel="noopener">deploying more wind and solar</a> to replace coal as the top generator of electricity by early next year, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).</p> <p>But scientists say more must be done and faster, especially the <a href="https://www.context.news/net-zero/ahead-of-cop28-climate-talks-fossil-fuels-increasingly-under-fire" target="_blank" rel="noopener">phase-out of fossil fuels</a>: coal, oil and natural gas.</p> <p>Despite this urgency, countries have missed more than half the U.N. deadlines to <a href="https://www.iied.org/countries-missing-deadlines-submit-climate-plans-more-half-time" target="_blank" rel="noopener">submit updated climate plans</a> under the Paris Agreement, according to London think tank the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED).</p></div><div class="ArticleText_text__9RYj1 "><h2><strong>Has there been progress?</strong></h2> <p>Yes. Future temperature rises are expected to be less extreme thanks to commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions - providing they are implemented - according to the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).</p> <p>In 2010, global temperature rises were forecast to be 3.7C to 4.8C in 2100 <a href="https://unfccc.int/sites/default/files/resource/sb2023_09_adv.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">above pre-industrial times</a>, but that projected range had dipped to 2.4C to 2.6C due to new pledges made in 2022, the IPCC found.</p> <p>This, however, is still well above the 1.5C target that scientists say is a crucial point when impacts from heatwaves to droughts to floods become ever more frequent and severe.</p> <p>The IPCC says meeting the 1.5C goal would require <a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/2022/04/04/ipcc-ar6-wgiii-pressrelease/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cutting greenhouse gas emissions</a> by 43% by 2030 from 2019 levels.</p> <p>To get on track demands dramatic action, from halting deforestation to transforming how humans travel, work and eat - be it reducing plane travel or eating less meat, experts say.</p> <h2><strong>Is extreme weather normal now?</strong></h2> <p>Scientists are becoming increasingly adept at joining the dots between extreme weather events and climate change<strong>.</strong></p> <p>Recent floods in eastern Spain that killed more than 200 people, for example, were <a href="https://www.worldweatherattribution.org/extreme-downpours-increasing-in-southern-spain-as-fossil-fuel-emissions-heat-the-climate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">twice as likely in today's climate</a> against pre-industrial times, according to analysis by the World Weather Attribution, an international group of scientists.</p> <p>A U.N. report last year calculated the annual global cost for vulnerable people to adapt to an ever more extreme climate was $215 billion to $387 billion a year up to 2030 - 10 to 18 times more than the $21 billion <a href="https://www.context.news/climate-justice/as-climate-adaptation-flounders-more-cash-called-no-brainer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">provided in 2021.</a></p></div><div class="ArticleText_text__9RYj1 "><h2><strong>Will we ever solve the climate crisis?</strong></h2> <p>The window of opportunity is narrowing to cut greenhouse gas emissions fast enough to slow the planet's warming and stay within the 1.5C limit, scientists and U.N. officials say.</p> <p>Breaching it could <a href="https://www.context.news/climate-risks/as-climate-tipping-points-near-scientists-plan-for-unthinkable" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lead to points of no return</a> - such as the collapse of ice sheets that could turbo-charge sea-level rise, or the mass death of tropical coral reefs in warming oceans.</p> <p>But there are positive tipping points, too.</p> <p>Given protection, forests, peatlands and other ecosystems can help absorb human-caused carbon dioxide emissions.</p> <p>Solutions to the crisis exist but require unprecedented changes at a new scale and pace, the IPCC says.</p> <p>And even if global warming does exceed 1.5C in coming years, it adds, every fraction of a degree impacts the level of harm and makes it easier to <a href="https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/syr/downloads/report/IPCC_AR6_SYR_SPM.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pull temperatures back to safer levels.</a></p> <p><strong><em>This article was updated on Nov. 11 at the start of the COP29 climate talks.</em></strong></p> <p><em>(Reporting by Jack Graham; Editing by Lyndsay Griffiths.)</em></p></div><hr class="Container_mainDivider__Y3X5_"/><section class="row"><div class="ArticleBodySignature_article__R6JeU"><div class="ArticleBodySignature_article__body__iMxON"><p>Context is powered by the Thomson Reuters Foundation Newsroom.</p><p>Our Standards: <a href="https://www.thomsonreuters.com/en/about-us/trust-principles.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer"><span class="ArticleBodySignature_link__EnOFh"><u>Thomson Reuters Trust Principles</u></span></a></p></div></div></section></div></div></section><hr class="Container_mainDivider__Y3X5_" role="none"/><div class="PartOf_wrapper__2IYr1"><div class="imageContainer ImageContainer_imageContainer__MSr4b PartOf_image__i_1xY" style="aspect-ratio:100 / 58"><a class="LinkWrapper_linkWrapper__DpMdK undefined" tabindex="-1" href="/in-focus/cop29-baku-talks-debate-who-pays-for-climate-change-and-how-much"><img alt="People attend the United Nations climate change conference COP29 opening in Baku, Azerbaijan November 11, 2024.
