Realizing the Promise of Paris: Roadmap to a Safer Climate

The Natural Resources Defense Council and NewClimate Institute identify 24 actions to cut global GHG emissions by 2030. Implementing 19 'On Track' and 'Scale Up' actions could limit warming to below 2°C, while adding five 'Need Focus' actions would move the world closer to a 1.5°C pathway. Full implementation of all 24 actions could reduce annual emissions by 19 gigatonnes per year by 2030.

• Implementing 19 of the 24 identified actions—categorized as "On Track" (already within reach) and "Scale Up" (those with some progress)—can place the world on an emissions pathway required by 2030 to keep global warming below 2°C.
• Adding five more aggressive actions, labeled as "Need Focus," would move the world more firmly toward a pathway to limit temperature increases to below 2°C and closer to the 1.5°C limit, though these actions require a level of coordinated effort that has not yet been established.
• Executing all 24 proposed actions could reduce annual global GHG emissions by 19 gigatonnes per year by 2030, a figure roughly three times the 2016 GHG emissions of the United States.
