Greenhouse Gas Mitigation Scenarios for Major Emitting Countries 2017

The report finds that 16 of the 25 major emitting countries and regions analysed are not on track to meet their self-determined NDC targets. While some countries like Brazil, China, and India are likely to achieve their targets with current policies, others, including the US, EU, and Canada, require additional measures. Furthermore, current policies are projected to fail to prevent emissions from increasing up to 2030 relative to 2010 levels in both developing and OECD nations, with only Japan and the EU projected to see further decreases.

• Sixteen of the 25 major emitting countries and regions analysed are not currently on track to meet their self-determined NDC targets.
• Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Japan, Mexico, the Russian Federation, Turkey, and the Ukraine are likely or roughly on track to meet or overachieve their unconditional 2025/2030 targets using current policies.
• Additional measures are required for Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, the EU, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Republic of Korea, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Thailand, the Philippines, and the United States to reach their 2025/2030 targets.
• Current policies are not projected to prevent greenhouse gas emissions from increasing up to 2030 relative to 2010 levels in several developing countries and OECD countries, including Australia, Chile, Mexico, Republic of Korea, and Turkey.
• Only Japan and the EU are projected to see further decreases in greenhouse gas emissions under current policies, while emissions in Brazil, Canada, Colombia, the Russian Federation, and the Ukraine are expected to remain stable.
