Study Notes
Progress Towards Sustainable Development Goals
- By April 2022, 193 parties had communicated their first nationally determined contribution under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, with 13 parties submitting their second nationally determined contribution.
- As of March 2021, 125 of 154 developing countries were implementing measures related to national adaptation plans, with six least developed countries and four small island developing states having completed a national adaptation plan.
- To limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, scientists recommend cutting global emissions by 4% by 2030, but current commitments indicate a potential 14% increase in global emissions by the end of the decade.
- Atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases continued to rise, with the six years from 2015 to 2020 likely being the warmest on record, impacting the achievement of sustainable development goals.
- To limit global warming to 1.5°C, the world would need to achieve net zero carbon dioxide emissions by around 2050.
- As of April 2020, 118 countries and territories had reported the development and adoption of national or local disaster risk reduction strategies, an increase from 48 in the first year of the Sendai Framework.
- By December 2020, 190 parties had communicated their first nationally determined contribution to the UNFCCC, with 44 least developed countries and 40 small island developing states. An additional 48 countries had communicated a second or updated nationally determined contribution, with 39 including adaptation information.
- Total climate finance reported by Annex I parties to the UNFCCC reached an annual average of $48.7 billion in the period 2017–2018, with over half targeted at mitigation action and a growing share prioritizing adaptation support.
- The year 2019 was the second warmest on record, and the global community is far off track to meet the 1.5 or 2°C targets of the Paris Agreement.
- Although greenhouse gas emissions are projected to drop by 6% in 2020 due to the pandemic, governments and businesses should utilize lessons learned to accelerate transitions needed to achieve the Paris Agreement.
- A total of 85 countries have reported having a national disaster risk reduction strategy aligned with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015–2030 to some extent since its adoption in 2015.
- Emissions from developed countries were approximately 6.2% lower in 2019 than in 2010, while emissions from 70 developing countries rose by 14.4% in 2014.
