The Alliance of Small Island Developing States (AOSIS) has expressed concern over the findings of the latest United Nations NDC Synthesis Report, released on Tuesday in New York City. The report, which reviews new and updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, reveals that only 64 countries have submitted their updated climate targets, accounting for just 30 percent of global emissions.
AOSIS stated that the limited number of submissions and weak collective targets represent a setback in the effort to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The group emphasized that 131 countries have not yet submitted their updated NDCs, despite the call for all parties to do so by September 2025.
According to the report, global emissions are projected to fall by only 17 percent below 2019 levels by 2035, far below the 45 percent reduction required by 2030 to meet the 1.5°C target. AOSIS said this shortfall indicates a severe delay in action and called for renewed commitment from major emitters.
