Event Registration

Join us on 8 November for the launch of the 2023 Production Gap Report, a critical exploration of global fossil fuel production in the context of the Paris Agreement’s temperature goals. Engage with leading climate experts and the report’s authors as they unveil pivotal findings, detailed assessments and updated analyses.

The Production Gap Report tracks the misalignment between governments’ planned and projected production of coal, oil, and gas and the global production levels consistent with the Paris Agreement’s temperature goal. Now, in its fourth edition, this year’s report will feature two major updates to the production gap analysis, drawing on changes in government plans and projections since August 2021 and the new mitigation scenarios database compiled for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Sixth Assessment Report. The report will also provide a more detailed assessment of the global coal, oil, and gas reduction pathways needed to keep the 1.5°C goal in reach. The report will also feature individual country profiles for 20 major fossil-fuel-producing countries, evaluating governments’ latest climate ambitions and their plans, policies, and strategies that support fossil fuel production or the transition away from it.
