    The United Nations Environment Programme released its annual "Emissions Gap Report" on the 26th and warned that unless global greenhouse gas emissions fall by 7.
    6% each year in the next ten years, the goal of controlling the temperature rise within 1.
    5 degrees Celsius will not be achieved.
    The Paris Agreement reached in 2015 proposed that all parties will strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change, control the global average temperature rise within 2 degrees Celsius from the pre-industrial level, and work hard to control the temperature rise within 1.
    5 degrees Celsius .
    The world will achieve the peak of greenhouse gas emissions as soon as possible, and achieve net zero emissions of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century.
    However, the "Emissions Gap Report" pointed out that even if all unconditional commitments under the current "Paris Agreement" are fulfilled, the global temperature may still rise by 3.
    2 degrees Celsius, bringing broader and more destructive climate impacts.
    The report predicts that in order to control the temperature increase within 2 degrees Celsius, the annual global emissions in 2030 must be reduced by 15 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent based on the unconditional nationally determined contribution reduction plans submitted by all countries; to achieve the control within 1.
    5 degrees Celsius The goal is to reduce 32 billion tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.
    Specific to the average annual emission reduction rate, this means that from 2020 to 2030, to achieve the 1.
    5 degrees Celsius target, the annual emissions must be reduced by 7.
    6%, and achieving the 2 degrees Celsius target corresponds to an annual emission reduction of 2.
    7%.
      The report believes that in the short term, for the sake of fairness and justice, developed countries must implement emissions reductions faster than developing countries, and calls on all countries to make more contributions to achieve the combined effect.
    The report suggests that developing countries can learn from the successful experience of developed countries, and they can even surpass developed countries and embrace cleaner technologies at a faster speed.
      United Nations Secretary-General Guterres said: "For 10 years, the "Emissions Gap Report" has been dedicated to arousing people's vigilance, but 10 years later, global carbon emissions have always been on an upward trend.
    If we do not heed the scientific warnings, Without effective measures to reverse emissions trends, we can only continue to witness fatal and catastrophic heat waves, storms and pollution.
