CICERO Center For International Climate Research

At this breakfast seminar CICERO's leading experts on emissions will give an in-depth update on the latest figures and estimates on global emissions CO2 emissions and removals from the Global Carbon Project. We will also dive into the recently published UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2024 that looks at how much nations must cut their greenhouse gases to stay in line with different climate targets, particularly relevant ahead of the next round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), due for submission in early 2025 ahead of COP30.

Finally, CICERO’s Glen Peters and Steffen Kallbekken will have a conversation on what the new emission figures from the Global Carbon Budget mean for the ongoing climate negotiations at COP29 in Baku, for the new round of NDCs in 2025 and for international and Norwegian climate policy.
