World leaders have announced new targets to cut greenhouse gas emissions at a United Nations summit in New York. The pledges, made by 120 countries and the European Union, include a commitment from China—the world’s largest emitter—to reduce emissions by 7–10% from peak levels by 2035.
UN Secretary-General António Guterres urged governments to act “much further, much faster,” warning that the global goal of limiting warming to 1.5C risks “collapsing.” He called for a credible action plan at COP30 in Brazil this November.
The new pledges come amid opposition from US President Donald Trump, who dismissed climate science at the UN and urged countries to expand fossil fuel production. His stance drew criticism from climate advocates and officials, who emphasised continued progress without US leadership.
Despite renewed commitments, scientists warn current efforts still leave the world on course for warming of up to 3C, with severe global consequences.
