The current target of 40 to 45 per cent emissions reduction from 2005 levels by 2030 is completely insufficient for the climate, and it also lacks elements of equity, planned transition, and nature-based solutions to make the pledge credible. Yet, when it comes to climate action, we are far behind – and the gap is only getting bigger.
