Ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP28), the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) will officially launch its annual Emissions Gap Report at an online press conference at 5:00 pm EAT/ 3:00pm CET/ 9:00am EST on 20 November 2023.  

The UNEP Emissions Gap Report series, now in its 14th year, provides a yearly review of the gap between where global emissions are heading with countries’ current commitments and where they ought to be to limit warming to 1.5°C. Each edition explores ways to bridge the emissions gap.  

In addition to providing an update on global GHG emissions, the Emissions Gap Report 2023: Broken Record – Temperatures hit new highs, yet world fails to cut emissions (again), focuses on energy transitions in low- and middle-income countries and looks at the role of carbon dioxide removal in bridging the emissions gap.  

The report launches a week ahead of COP28 and will serve as a key input to the Global Stocktake, which takes inventory of where the world stands on climate action and support, identifying the gaps and working together to chart a better course forward to accelerate climate action.
