The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) has come out with its Synthesis Report with a view to assess the aggregate effort of the Parties' climate action plans referred to as the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDC).
Assessing the report, Deputy Director General of Center for Science and Environment (CSE), Chandra Bhushan said,"the impact of aggregate INDCs is insufficient to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius. They put the world on a global warming path of 3 degrees Celsius or more."
"CSE disagrees with the projections put out by agencies, including UNFCCC, that the temperature rise will be about 2.7 degrees by 2100. Considering that about 75 per cent of the remaining carbon budget will be exhausted by 2030 and global emissions will not have peaked by 2030, CSE projections show that the world is on a temperature path of more than 3 degrees," he said.
The CSE also raised concerns about the mitigation efforts from developed countries saying that they were less than that by developing countries.
