Update GHG mitigation scenarios for major emitting countries: an overview of

The report identifies newly adopted policies in 25 major emitting countries and regions—representing 79% of 2012 global GHG emissions—that support long-term decarbonisation goals. These policies include carbon taxes, coal phase-outs, and support for renewable energy and electric vehicles, focusing on legislative decisions and executive orders with direct effects on reducing emissions.

• The assessment identifies several types of newly adopted policies that align with the Paris Agreement's long-term decarbonisation goals, specifically carbon taxes, the phase-out or phase-down of coal power plants, support for renewable energy, electric vehicles, energy-efficient buildings, and the strengthening of 2030 mitigation targets (NDCs).
• The scope of the document covers 25 countries and regions, including all G20 nations (except four EU member states), which collectively accounted for 79% of total global greenhouse gas emissions in 2012.
• The report defines 'adopted policies' as executive orders, legislative decisions, or their equivalents, excluding general publicly announced plans or strategies unless they include specific policy instruments for implementation.
