UNEP. 2013. The Emissions Gap Report 2013. A UNEP Synthesis Report. Nairobi, Kenya: United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)

Abstract/Description

The report presents the latest estimates of the emissions gap in 2020 and provides plentiful information about:

  • current (2010) and projected (2020) levels of global greenhouse gas emissions, both in the absence of additional policies and consistent with national pledge implementation
  • the implications of starting decided emission reductions now or in the coming decades
  • agricultural development policies that can help increase yields, reduce fertilizer usage and bring about other benefits, while reducing emissions of greenhouse gases
  • international cooperative initiatives that, while potentially overlapping with pledges, can complement them and help bridge the emissions gap
