10 Nov 2022 --- Today Zero Waste Europe (ZWE) and Eunomia released a report that estimates a 67% chance of global warming staying within 1.5-degrees celsius of pre-industrial levels if cumulative global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions stay below 400 gross tonnage CO2 e. The main conclusion of the report shows that current plans for net zero by 2050 in the materials sector are unlikely to be enough to limit warming to 1.5-degrees celsius. Likely trajectories show that the result could be as high as 2 degrees celsius. Emissions from the material production sector comprise approximately 25% of global emissions and are therefore of significant importance in reducing emissions in line with the global carbon budget, highlights the report.
