Are the G20 economies making enough progress to meet their NDC targets

The study finds that while most G20 members are implementing climate policies, only six are projected to meet their unconditional NDC targets with current measures, while eight require further action.

• Six G20 members—China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, and Turkey—are projected to meet their unconditional NDC targets based on current policies.
• Eight G20 members—Argentina, Australia, Canada, the European Union, Republic of Korea, South Africa, and the United States—need to implement enhanced policies to achieve their targets.
• Current policy projections indicate that emissions will continue to rise through 2030 for many G20 members, with Saudi Arabia and South Africa specifically projected to increase both emissions per capita and emission intensity per unit GDP by 2030 relative to 2015 levels.
• The study notes a lack of sufficient information for Saudi Arabia and significant uncertainty regarding emission projections for Brazil and Mexico.
