Increasing mitigation ambition and enhancing implementations are the focus of the mitigation work program to achieve the Paris Agreement’s long-term goal of 1.5°C. However, recent studies and analyses of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) demonstrated that existing goals and implementations are subject to 1.5°C of uncertainty. As a result, a chasm exists between the NDC’s pledges and desired goals. According to the sixth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, a 43% emission reduction is required by 2030 to attain the 1.5°C targets. However, the current NDC’s goals and implementation level show a 13.7% increase in emissions by 2030 compared to the 2010 level. Considering these diverging instead of converging emissions trends and targets, the Glasgow Climate Pact urged countries to boost their NDC ambitions before 2022. However, the country’s revised NDCs for 2030 need to be seven times more ambitious to meet the 1.5°C Paris Agreement goals. Consequently, the two entities, the Subsidiary Body for Implementation (SBI) and the Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA), urged the parties to find a consensus on the road to the Paris Agreement that all parties could support…
