It also highlights that since 2010, emissions by these countries have decreased by 4.4%, likely due in part to climate actions that more than offset the impact of economic and population growth.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The report also finds that emission reduction measures by developed countries have increased and are paying off. This is an important foundation for accelerated climate action beyond 2020 under the <a href=\"https:\/\/unfccc.int\/process-and-meetings\/the-paris-agreement\/the-paris-agreement\">Paris Climate Change Agreement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moreover, increasing levels of financial support provided by developed countries to developing countries could provide an incentive for a shift towards a low-emission and climate-resilient development pathway.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Financial support by developed countries reached 49.4 billion US dollars in 2016. This financial support increased by 13 per cent between the 2013\/2014 and the 2015\/2016 reporting periods.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Additionally, technology transfer and capacity-building support is beginning to lay the foundation for developing countries\u2019 climate action beyond 2020.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yet the report also clearly establishes that some developed countries are ahead of their targets, while others are behind. The full implementation of available measures and policies would be a critically important step for those countries to make progress.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The so-called \u201cCompilation and Synthesis\u201d report by the UNFCCC secretariat is based on reporting that developed countries are obliged to undertake every two years.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The report and its key messages will be presented on Thursday, 6 December at 13:15 in Room Warmia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The event can be followed <a href=\"https:\/\/attend-emea.broadcast.skype.com\/en-US\/2a6c12ad-406a-4f33-b686-f78ff5822208\/bec001d0-2cc9-42dc-ad6b-2662329fa4c6\/player?cid=4obdrpqitgb7nq5bf6akyltrkct7dchmnq65byb64f4gwgic4ira&amp;rid=EMEA\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For easy access to the information, the UNFCCC has prepared an overview of key messages, which can be accessed <a href=\"https:\/\/unfccc.int\/sites\/default\/files\/resource\/Comp_Synth_Key_Messages.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The full report can be read <a href=\"https:\/\/unfccc.int\/process-and-meetings\/transparency-and-reporting\/reporting-and-review-under-the-convention\/national-communications-and-biennial-reports-annex-i-parties\/compilation-and-synthesis-reports\/compilation-and-synthesis-reports\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Text originally published<\/em> <a href=\"http:\/\/Read online: https:\/\/unfccc.int\/news\/unfccc-to-present-progress-and-gaps-on-pre2020-targets-at-cop24-0\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, on December 6 2018 at 13:15 in Room Warmia, the UNFCCC will present a new report at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP24).
