UN Environment report says national GHG pledges only bring one-third of reductions needed for Paris Agreement

Green Car Congress

Substantial emission reductions due to fuel economy standards for passenger cars are already included in the current policy scenario. A large part of this potential comes from six relatively standardized categories: solar and wind energy; efficient appliances; efficient passenger cars; afforestation and stopping deforestation.
