World's climate pledges would cut emissions a tenth of what's needed: UN

A UN report released in Washington states that current national climate pledges will cut global greenhouse gas emissions by only six per cent by 2035. This figure is one-tenth of the roughly 60 per cent reduction required to limit warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. The assessment covers 154 countries and was published weeks before COP31 talks in Türkiye.
