A new report, published by The Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, presents best practice climate policies from across the world and describes existing opportunities to immediately scale up reductions in greenhouse gas emissions while powering up ambition to keep the global average temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius.
A special UNFCCC microsite highlights both national and international cooperative actions while underling the vital role of non-State actors such as companies, cities, regions and provinces in realizing bigger reductions in current and future emissions. The report emphasises importance of policies suggested in intended national climate action plans, which almost 170 countries have already submitted towards the new climate change agreement in Paris.
