Why in News?
According to the Global Carbon Project, India’s carbon emissions are projected to rise 1.4% in 2025, slower than the 4% increase in 2024. The moderation is attributed to a favourable monsoon reducing cooling demand and strong growth in renewable energy.
Description:
Publisher- Released annually by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
Purpose:
- Assesses the gap between:

vs.
- Emissions required to limit warming to 1.5°C or 2°C under the Paris Agreement.
Focus Areas:

- Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)
- Emission trajectories
- Policy effectiveness
- Required emission reduction pathways
What the “Gap” Means:
- The difference between:
- What countries have committed to (NDCs)
- What is scientifically needed to meet temperature goals
Scope of Assessment:
- Covers emissions from: Energy sector, Industry, Transport, Agriculture, Forestry & land-use change, Methane & non-CO₂ gases
Relation to Paris Agreement:
- Helps track progress toward: 1.5°C target, “Well-below 2°C” target.
