Countries' new climate plans to start cutting global emissions, UN

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : "China tends to under-commit," said Norah Zhang, climate policy analyst at the research group NewClimate Institute, noting that the country met its 2030 target to expand wind and solar energy six years early.
52% : The UNFCCC also published a detailed report of the 64 countries who met a September deadline to submit final climate plans, but those accounted for just 30 percent of global emissions. To offer a more complete assessment, the UNFCCC said it had produced the global analysis, including targets countries have announced but not yet formally submitted, such as from China and the EU.
50% : The analysis by the United Nations' climate change secretariat (UNFCCC) suggested that, if countries' plans for tackling climate change are carried out, the yearly amount of planet-warming gases added to the atmosphere would decrease 10 percent by 2035, from 2019 levels.
44% : BRUSSELS: The latest climate pledges by governments will cause global greenhouse gas emissions to start to fall in the next 10 years, but not nearly fast enough to prevent worsening climate change and extreme weather, the UN said on Tuesday.
