- News 10 November 2016 Energy efficiency can help bridge the emissions gap, says new report Even if the ambitious goals of the Paris and Kigali agreements are achieved, we will still be far from reaching the 2030 emission levels required to avert disaster, according to the recently released Emissions Gap Report (EGR) for 2016. The report, which will be presented at COP22 in Marrakesh, estimates the 2030 emissions gap as being 12 to 14 gigatonnes above levels needed to limit global warming to 2oC. In other words, even if the Paris commitments are fully implemented…
