Developed Countries to Overshoot Their 2030 NDC Targets

A recent report by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW), has found that developed countries will collectively emit around 3.7 giga tonnes extra carbon dioxide in 2030, above their mitigation goals in their nationally determined contributions (NDCs). This would be a 38% overshoot, with United States, European Union, and Russia responsible for 83% of the overshoot. It also found that only Norway and Belarus are on track to achieve their targets.
