United Nations Admits Carbon Emission Goals Fall Short, Paris Agreement to Solve Problem

Carbon Emissions continue to rise and this is an issue that needs immediate attention. The UN (United Nation) has review a national plan to remove “carbon” from air and Paris has an agreement to help solve this problem.

According to UN's Website, the UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme) has urged the world and to those that was up for its effort to remove Carbon Emission gas by 25% than pledge in Paris last year to meet a safer and stronger target of 1.5 degree Celsius temperature rise globally.

The UNEP made this announcement during a release of its annual “Emission Gap report” in London in which it was discovered that by the year 2030 emissions are excepted to reach 54 to 56 gig atones of CO2 (Carbon dioxide) equivalent.

Early October this year, Paris agreement cleared the last threshold 55% represented from 55 different countries of global “emission”. Scientist all around the world has agreed that limiting global warming to at least 2°C this century would turn around the probability of storms that a severe, long droughts, sea rising, and other devastating climate related kind of events. But they are cautious that even a lower target as 1.5 degree Celsius can reduce rather than resulting into an eliminating impact on the world.

According to BBC, the United Nations also gave a suggestion that contribution from other non-state actors as they have been termed, cities, and businesses could help in the reduction of “emission” by a few essential gigatonnes.

The United Nations says that this ambitious action on energy efficiency in buildings and in transport and other areas could help reduce “carbon emission” significantly. Investments in area like this were increased by 6% in 2015 to $221 billion.

The Guardian shares that the director of Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit Richard Black said that the UNEP’s report has confirmed that there has been noticeable increase towards a global low “carbon” economy over the years, but considering that more action is required if governments are to meet the target that is set under the Paris agreement.
