2023 UNEP Emissions Gap Report Summary
The 2023 UNEP Emissions Gap Report underscores the significant shortfall in global climate finance needed to meet the targets set out in the Paris Agreement. The report highlights that the world is on track for a temperature rise far above the 1.5°C threshold, which requires a 42% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Current policies and pledges are insufficient, resulting in a predicted temperature rise of up to 2.9°C if no additional measures are taken.
This shortfall in climate finance is a critical barrier to achieving the necessary reductions in emissions and supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy. The report calls for immediate and substantial increases in climate finance, particularly for developing countries that are most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. It also emphasizes the need for transparent and equitable distribution of these funds, aligning with EnerFi's vision of democratized climate finance.
EnerFi aligns with the recommendations of the report by providing a platform that facilitates the flow of capital to renewable energy projects, ensuring that the benefits of these investments are shared broadly across communities. By leveraging blockchain technology and AI, EnerFi aims to close the climate finance gap and accelerate the transition to a sustainable energy future.

Climate Finance Shortfall: The Urgent Need for Trillions in Investment
One of the most critical barriers to achieving the Paris Agreement targets is the significant shortfall in climate finance. To limit global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, the world needs to invest between $3 trillion and $5 trillion annually by 2030. However, current investment levels fall woefully short of this requirement. In 2023, global climate finance amounted to only approximately $600 billion to $700 billion, leaving a gap of over $2 trillion per year.
This shortfall presents an enormous risk to the planet, as insufficient investment delays the transition to a low-carbon economy and exacerbates the impacts of climate change. Addressing this gap is essential not only to mitigate the worst effects of climate change but also to unlock the potential for sustainable economic growth and development.
EnerFi's mission is directly aligned with the need to bridge this finance gap. By democratizing access to climate finance through blockchain and AI, EnerFi enables a more equitable and scalable investment model that can mobilize the trillions of dollars needed to accelerate global climate action.
