A global reduction of 42% in annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and 57% by 2035 is essential to keep the 1.5°C...

Despite representing 18% of the global population, India has contributed only 5% to the world's warming. This contrast sheds light on the significant variations in per capita territorial greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across nations, said the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) in its Broken Record report.

Wastewater poses a growing threat to both health and the environment, emitting nearly as many greenhouse gases as the aviation sector. However, a recent analysis from the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and GRID-Arendal, in collaboration with the Global Wastewater Initiative (GWWI), says that with appropriate policies, wastewater could offer an alternative energy source to almost half a billion people. Furthermore, it could provide over ten times the water produced by current global desalination capacity and mitigate more than 10 percent of global fertilizer usage.

In a landmark decision, hundred and ninety-three countries unanimously approved the creation of a global greenhouse gas monitoring mechanism to support urgent action to reduce heat-trapping gases. The landmark decision comes as part of the World Meteorological Congress.
