Pledges for Paris climate summit Pledges from 148 countries to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 are insufficient to limit global warming to 2°C above pre-industrial levels, according to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intended Nationally Determined Contributions: INDCs will limit forecast temperature rise to around 2.7°C by 2100 World emissions 35,274 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (2013) China: Peak in CO2 emissions by 2027. Cut emissions by 60-65% of 2005 levels by 2030 10,281m U.S.: Cut emissions by 17% by 2020 and by 26%-28% by 2025, both against 2005 baseline 5,298m EU28: Reduce domestic greenhouse gas emissions by at least 40% by 2030, against 1990 baseline 3,789m India: 33-35% reduction in emissions intensity by 2030, compared to 2005. Triple renewable energy capacity by 2022 2,072m Russia: 25-30% reduction on 1990 levels by 2030. Russia’s massive forests absorb around 500m tonnes of CO2 each year 1,803m Japan: 26% reduction below 2013 levels by 2030 1,361m Canada: Cut 30% on 2005 levels by 2030 551m Indonesia: 29-41% cut by 2030 487m Australia: 26-28% cut by 2030 395m -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sources: UN report on aggregate effect of INDCs, EU Joint Research Centre words 192
