Current climate pledges will cut emissions by just 6% by 2035, far off track: UN report
According to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change’s 2026 NDC Synthesis Report, existing national climate commitments are projected to lower global greenhouse‑gas emissions by merely six percent by 2035. Even if all pledged actions, including conditional ones, are fully realized, emissions would only fall about nine percent below 2019 levels, leaving the world far from required mitigation pathways.
