In Pics: Global efforts not enough to tackle climate change, says UN
In its report released last week, United Nations has said that global efforts to combat climate change by controlling Carbon dioxide emissions (CO2) are "far away from their target. The UN made the report based on the examination of pledges made by the countries to reduce emissions.
Need for effective collective action
UN's latest assessment of emissions covers pledges of 75 of the 197 signatories to the Paris accord. The list does not include countries that have major contribution to global emissions. These countries are yet to submit their pledges to the UN. A collective action is needed indeed.
