COP28 pledges meet only 30% of needed energy emission cuts: IEA

Over 120 countries, including the United States, have pledged to triple renewable energy capacity and double energy efficiency measures by 2030 at COP28, but these commitments are not enough to meet international climate targets.
Fifty major oil and gas companies, such as Exxon and Saudi Aramco, have also pledged to reduce methane emissions by 80-90% and end routine flaring by the end of the decade.
The International Energy Agency's analysis shows that these pledges would only result in about 30% of the emissions reduction needed to cap global warming at 1 degree Celsius.

COP28 pledges meet only 30% of needed energy emission cuts: IEA

The COP28 climate summit pledges fall short of reducing energy-related greenhouse gas emissions by the necessary amount by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency. The agency's report states that while the pledges are positive steps, they are insufficient to meet global climate targets, including limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Methane emissions, responsible for one-third of current greenhouse gas warming, will be addre

COP28 Pledges Not Enough To Limit Warming To 1.5 Degrees: Energy Body

So far, 130 countries have agreed to triple renewables and double the rate of energy efficiency improvements, while 50 oil and gas companies have agreed to cut out methane emissions and eliminate r…
