The primary objective is to quantify and trace historic and cumulative emissions of carbon dioxide and methane to the largest extant fossil fuel and cement producers.

If the greenhouse "gap" isn’t "closed or significantly narrowed" by 2020, the pathway to limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5C will be closed, warns this 2013 edition of Emissions Gap Report compiled by 44 scientific groups in 17 countries.

This 2013 report published by Blacksmith Institute and Green Cross Switzerland presents a new list of the top ten polluted places in the world and also provides updates on the sites published in the previous editions.

Slowing the rate of global warming over the near term by cutting short-lived climate pollutants to complement carbon dioxide reductions for the long term. Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are responsible for 55-60% of anthropogenic radiative forcing. Fast and aggressive CO2 mitigation is essential to combat the resulting climate change.

This UNIDO report provides ample evidence of how and why structural change works and presents sustainable paths to industrialization.

This new report by Friends of the Earth International underlines the importance of a just, sustainable, climate-safe energy system, in the wake of warnings by the world’s leading scientists about the scale of the planetary emergency and the threat of runaway climate change unless we take immediate action.
