The Climate Change Challenge
... As of November 2016, 187 countries have submitted their targets, known as Intended National Determined Contributions (INDCs). If the targets are met, it is estimated that global warming will be cut by only 2.7°C, meaning that global temperature increases will remain well above the 2°C target. Despit ...
