The commitments made by governments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are insufficient to prevent a temperature increase of 2 degrees Celsius, which is considered a critical threshold for extreme weather events and rising sea levels. A report by various organizations, including Christian Aid, Oxfam, and WWF International, highlights that major developed countries are not doing enough to meet their fair share of emissions reductions. This report coincides with international talks in Bonn, Germany, where almost 200 nations are discussing a global deal to address climate change. While approximately 150 nations have submitted plans to combat climate change, there is no standardized way to compare the level of ambition of each nation's commitments. Monday's report suggested that wealthy nations, who have benefitted from using fossil fuels since the Industrial Revolution, have the means to transition to cleaner energy sources and should take more responsibility in doing so. The report found that the United States and the European Union had committed to about a fifth of their "fair shares" in this regard, while Japan had committed to about a tenth. On the other hand, emerging economies were found to be exceeding or meeting their fair share, with China and Brazil notably doing more than their fair share. Brandon Wu of ActionAid criticized rich countries for failing to bring emission cuts and financial contributions to the negotiating table. Tasneem Essop from WWF International proposed that Paris should establish systems that allow for actions to become more impactful over time through regular evaluations of science and fairness. Both major emitters, Beijing and Washington, have ambitious plans to address climate change. China aims to reach peak greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, while the United States plans to reduce emissions by 26-28 percent by 2025 compared to 2005 levels. However, according to the report released on Monday, if current trends continue, temperatures are projected to increase by 3 degrees C (5.4F) or more above pre-industrial levels by 2100, far exceeding the agreed maximum of 2C.
