This chapter explores the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) submitted by countries to UNFCCC, with a specific focus on the extent to which the INDCs in aggregate are in accordance with the long-term objective of the Convention, which is “[…] to achieve […] stabilization of greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system”. The chapter quantifies an ‘emissions gap’ – the gap between future emissions under full implementation of the INDCs
and under the pathways consistent with limiting warming to below 2°C in 2100 – for the years 2025 and 2030.
