Joint Oireachtas Committee on Climate Action

Third Report of the Citizens' Assembly: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 pm

Professor Valérie Masson-Delmotte:

These pledges imply a growth of aggregated greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 so they are not on track with any pathway that is compatible with limiting warming to 1.5o Celsius even if we imagine very large-scale changes after 2030. If the same level of ambition remains - if we extrapolate that level of ambition in the coming round of pledges - it would imply around 3o C or more in global warming.
