G7 nations may not meet emission target by 2030

New Delhi: None of the G7 members are on track to meet their existing emission reduction targets for 2030, according to a new analysis released on Tuesday.

The analysis by Climate Analytics, a global climate science and policy institute, comes ahead of the G7 climate, energy, and environment ministers’ meeting in Venaria Reale, Italy, during April 28-30.

The G7 collectively aims to achieve a 40-42 per cent emission reduction by 2030, but existing policies suggest that it will likely achieve only 19-33 per cent by the end of this decade, the analysis showed.
