"Every year, the Emissions Gap Report signals the difference between where greenhouse emissions are predicted to be in 2030 and where they should be to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
The 2020 report finds that a brief dip in carbon dioxide emissions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will make no significant difference to long-term climate change..
The world is still heading for a catastrophic temperature rise in excess of 3 degree C this century - far beyond the Pris Agreement goals of limiting global warming to well below 2 degree c and pursuing 1.5 degree C.
But hope lies in a green recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, which could help put the world close to the pathway to 2 degree C, and growing commitments to net-zero emissions by 2050 - although more work would be required to reach the 1.5 degree C goal..."
