Rhodium Climate Outlook: Setting the Stage for Ambitious 2035 NDCs

We set a foundation for 2035 expectations for G20 economies by comparing projected emissions under today’s baseline with prospective reductions that would be required to stay on a straight-line path from their 2030 NDCs to their mid-century targets.
