The Emissions Gap Report 2022 finds that the world must cut emissions by what percentage to avoid global catastrophe?

A10%
B20%

D45% ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) 45%
Explanation

The Emissions Gap Report 2022 warned that global emissions must fall by about forty-five percent to keep warming within safe limits.

A ten percent cut would fall far short of the trajectory needed to avert dangerous warming.

A twenty percent reduction would still leave the world well above a 1.5 degree pathway.

A twenty-five percent cut, while substantial, does not match the scale the report identified.

The report stressed that only deep and rapid cuts this decade can close the gap to the 1.5 degree goal.

This assessment is released annually by the United Nations Environment Programme ahead of climate negotiations.
