Mitigation – Tracking progress towards 2030

With the urgent need to nearly halve global emissions by 2030 to cap the global temperature rise at 1.5 degree Celsius, this third episode of our mini-series on COP28, tackles the concept of ‘keeping 1.5 alive.’ It reflects on the mitigation efforts since the Paris Agreement, what to expect on fossil fuel negotiations at COP28, examines net zero pledges, industry transitions and the race to the towards decarbonization. The discussion also highlights the Mitigation Work Programme established by the UNFCCC and what COP28 needs to achieve to honour the Paris Agreement by 2030.
