The Paris Agreement made at the 21st Conference of the Parties in 2015 is to keep global temperature rise to below 2 degrees Celsius. Just before the parties reconvened at the 23rd Conference of Parties of the UN Climate Change Convention in Bonn, UN Environment released the Emissions Gap Report to assess current mitigation efforts. UN Environment’s Erik Solheim updates us on - among others - global greenhouse gas emissions, coal phaseout, and how small island nations are most affected.
