How is the world doing on tackling climate change?
COP29 meets in Azerbaijan, underscoring the current urgency of global climate negotiations as the planet braces for high levels of heat.
Scientists, politicians and leaders are not only evaluating current climate actions, but also to strategize future interventions. .
Fossil fuels: Still increasing despite pledges
Renewable energy sources such as wind and solar have seen significant growth, with a notable decline in prices. Nations have collectively aimed to triple renewable energy capacity by 2030. Economic dynamics favor renewable energy, as in many regions it is now the most cost-effective energy source available. China is expected to be responsible for more than half of the global increase in renewable capacity.
Electric vehicles: Numbers rising but it's a mixed picture
The expansion of electric vehicle use is evident, particularly driven by the Chinese market. Electric vehicles are recognized as a key strategy for reducing road transport emissions using clean electricity.
Overall Progress and Urgent Challenges
Despite the measures taken, global emission levels remain alarming, with projections indicating a trajectory towards warming of around 3°C by the end of the century, a stark contrast to the aspirations set out in the Paris Agreement . The 1.5°C target depends on global cooperation and ambitious reductions in greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade. Political changes, particularly in the United States, threaten to complicate the global response and promote investment in fossil fuels.
Conclusion
COP29 in Azerbaijan highlights the ongoing global fight against climate change from CO2 emissions from fossil fuels. Although some countries, particularly the United Kingdom and the European Union, have made progress in reducing their dependence on fossil fuels and increasing their renewable energy capacity, overall emissions continue to rise. Adoption of electric vehicles is increasing, but deforestation remains a crucial challenge, particularly in the Amazon. Current policies suggest a potential increase in global temperatures of 3°C by the end of the century, significantly above the 1.5°C target, highlighting the urgent need for decisive action.
'"Without decisive and collective action now, the goal of limiting warming to 1.5°C is at risk of becoming unattainable."
