Countries in the G20 have been urged to significantly bring forward their net zero targets by the head of the United Nations. <\/p>\n

Speaking at a press conference held to launch a major new climate science report, Antonio Guterres said he was launching an \u201call-hands-on-deck acceleration agenda\u201d which \u201cstarts with parties immediately hitting the fast-forward button on their net zero deadlines to get to global net zero by 2050\u201d.<\/p>\n

Guterres described the IPCC\u2019s latest report as a \u201chow-to guide\u201d to defuse the ticking climate time-bomb. \u201cIt is a survival guide for humanity. As it shows, the 1.5-degree limit is achievable. But it will take a quantum leap in climate action.\u201d<\/p>\n

To achieve this, he called on leaders of developed countries to reach net zero \u201cas close as possible to 2040\u201d and said emerging economies should aim for 2050. This was the first time he had made such a plea.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis can be done,\u201d Guterres said, since some governments have already set targets for these dates.<\/p>\n

But the vast majority of G20 nations have set weaker targets; just four of the 19 are in line with Guterres’ proposals. These four – Argentina, Brazil, South Korea and South Africa – are emerging economies that have set 2050 net zero target dates.<\/span><\/p>\n

China, the world’s biggest polluter, aims to reach net zero by 2060, India aims for 2070 and Indonesia has not yet set a target. Of the eight rich nations in the G20, none have set 2040 net zero targets. Germany is aiming for 2045 and the others for 2050.<\/span><\/p>\n

The world’s soonest net zero target is Finland’s date of 2035. <\/span>While most net zero targets are worked out based on how fast an economy can transition, Finland’s was calculated based on the country’s fair share of the amount of carbon dioxide that can still be emitted globally while keeping global warming to 1.5C.<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to fairly limit global warming to 1.5C, Germany and the EU should reach net zero in the early to mid-2030s.<\/p>\n

Guterres also called on countries to end all funding for new fossil fuels and to ensure net zero electricity generation by 2035 in developed countries and 2040 in the rest of the world.<\/p>\n
