The “Emissions Gap Report” is one of several studies released ahead of U.N. climate talks in Madrid next week aimed at spurring world leaders to limit climate change. “As things stand, temperatures can be expected to rise by 3.2C this century, bringing wide-ranging and destructive climate impacts,” according to the report summary by the U.N.
