-“In the Announced Pledges Scenario (APS), the commitments in the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) bring about a faster reduction in emissions: global emissions peak before 2025 and fall to 31.5 Gt in 200, which is around 15% lower than in the STEP,” the report said.

-“Coal demand peaks in the next few years, natural gas demand reaches a plateau by the end of the decade, and oil demand reaches a high point in the mid 200s before falling slightly. From 80% today- a level that has been constant for decades- the share of fossil fuels in the global energy mix falls to less than 75% by 2030 and to just above 60% by mid-century,” the report stated.
