Present climate commitments would increase global temperature around 3° C
Source : Sciencedaily Summary : An assessment shows that current climate commitments submitted by 155 countries for COP21 would increase global temperature around 3º C. A JRC assessment shows that current climate commitments submitted by 155 countries for COP21 would increase global temperature around 3º C. 155 countries representing around 90% of global emissions have submitted their Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) on climate policy to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in preparation of the new climate negotiations to be held in December in Paris. JRC's assessment of these initial proposals concludes that, if aggregated and fully implemented, unconditional INDCs (without international climate financial support or international cooperation mechanisms) could set global emissions growth at around 17% above 2010 level by 2030. Under EU's scenario to reach the global goal set by all Parties under the UNFCCC, i.e. limit gl
