The United Nations released the Emissions Gap Report 2023 on Thursday.

The report states that the world is heading for a temperature rise far above the Paris Agreement goals unless countries deliver more than they have promised.

On the current path and without action, the world could warm by 3.1°C this century. This would result in more increases in extreme weather events.

The predicted 2030 greenhouse gas emissions still must fall by 28 per cent for the Paris Agreement 2°C pathway and 42 per cent for the 1.5°C pathway.

Governments around the world have failed to cut emissions.
