decreased by 12.5 per cent, excluding LULUCF and by 16.6 per cent including LULUCF between 1990 and 2018. The report also says that the emissions in 2020 of the non-EIT Parties are likely to actually rise 0.4 per cent over 1990 levels. The reduction in emissions of Annex-l parties therefore is highly inadequate compared to the recommended levels of emissions reductions in the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the IPCC which stated that they were required to reduce emissions by 25-40 per cent by 2020 with respect to 1990 levels (Gupta et. al., 2007).
