We need to see a profound effort in all sectors, in this decade , to decarbonise the world to be in line with 1. Targets for remain totally inadequate: the current targets without long-term pledges put us on track for a 2. The biggest absolute contributions to this narrowing come from China, EU and the US, though other countries with lower emissions levels have also improved their NDCs.
Some have not made new submissions at all Turkey and Kazakhstan , and Iran has yet to ratify the Paris Agreement. Even with all new Glasgow pledges for , we will emit roughly twice as much in as required for 1. Therefore, all governments need to reconsider their targets.
No single country that we analyse has sufficient short-term policies in place to put itself on track to its net zero target. The net zero CAT assessment also includes announcements made by governments which are not backed up by any national legislation, nor plans. This, we consider, is the credibility gap that Glasgow needs to address. But in spite of political momentum and clear benefits beyond climate change mitigation, there is still a huge amount of coal in the pipeline, for example in China , India , Indonesia and Viet Nam , and too many countries, including Japan , South Korea , Australia, still have plans centered around coal as a major contributor to electricity generation in Some also continue funding coal projects abroad.

As with our previous views of major cities; the aim with this article is to show the differences Glasgow has experienced with the Landsat 5 and 8 images acquired in and used as reference. In the comparison, it is possible to see the development of the city, particularly in the suburbs and along the banks of the River Clyde.
Another aim of these images is to promote the opportunity to download Landsat data through the ESA portals, where images captured every day are made available in near real time to the users and the scientific community. View large format slider. Glasgow, United Kingdom.
