Population and economic growth are projected to lead to continued increases in energy needs and further electrification. Successful achievement of the Paris Agreement pledges will begin a shift away from fossil fuels, but additional actions are required to accelerate decarbonization.
It is widely recognized that the near-term Paris pledges are inadequate by themselves to stabilize climate. On the assumption that Paris pledges are met and retained in the post-2030 period without further emissions‑reduction efforts, future emissions growth will come from the Other G20 and developing countries, accelerating changes in global and r...
Water and agriculture are key sectors that will be shaped not only by increasing demands from population and economic growth but also by the changing global environment. Climate change is likely to add to water stress and reduce agricultural productivity, but adaptation and agricultural development offer opportunities to overcome these challenges.
Key countries and regions are progressing in fulfilling their Paris pledges. Many countries have declared more ambitious GHG emissions mitigation goals, while financing to assist the least developed countries in sustainable development is not forthcoming at the levels needed. 1. In its 2020 Emissions Gap Report, the UN Environmental Program (UNEP) ...
The Paris Agreement established more precise long-term temperature targets than previous climate pacts by specifying the need to keep “aggregate emissions pathways consistent with holding the increase in global average temperature well below 2°C above preindustrial levels” and further adding the goal of “pursuing efforts to limit the temperature in...

- The ocean is running out of fish—but collective action is on the horizon. More than 40 percent of the world’s population lives within 100 kilometers of the coast, but the ocean’s influence on our planet makes it vital for everyone.
- Our food systems on land are broken, too—but we can fix the business of food. The journey from farm to table is an increasingly complicated one. Food is a big business—supply chains crisscross the globe, with technology infusing every link, and production is higher than ever.
- In fact, we're losing the diversity of life itself—but we can strike a new deal for nature. The word “biodiversity” may not be a household term, but it is, in short, all life on Earth.
- And yes, the planet is still getting hotter—but the demand for climate action is getting louder. We’re now living in a climate crisis. Rising temperatures, rising sea-levels, raging wildfires—the impacts of climate change are already here.
