The Emissions Gap Report 2016: A UNEP Synthesis Report

The Emissions Gap Report 2016 is a UNEP synthesis report designed to assess global progress toward emissions reductions necessary to meet UNFCCC goals, specifically focusing on the Paris Agreement's targets of limiting global temperature increases to well below 2°C and pursuing a limit of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

• The 2016 report focuses on the implications of the Paris Agreement's goals to keep the global average temperature increase well below 2°C and to strive for a limit of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels for both immediate and long-term mitigation efforts.
• The report aims to answer four primary questions: the status of pre-2020 mitigation; the emissions gap in 2030 if Intended Nationally Determined Contributions are fully implemented versus temperature goals; the potential for non-state action and energy efficiency to increase ambition; and the relationship between Sustainable Development Goals and mitigation.
