...the CAT launches new Climate Target Update TrackerWhile the UAE’s new 2035 NDC includes an ambitious emissions reduction target that lies within a 1.5˚C pathway, its NDC commitments as a whole cannot be rated 1.5˚C compatible.

... Trump policies make only slight increase in warming projections.... sets out 2035 NDC asks for big emitters and troika The combined global effect of government action on climate change has flat-lined over the last three years, underscoring a critical disconnect between the reality of climate change and the lack read more...

If governments don't strengthen their 2030 targets and fail to substantially increase climate action before 2030, limiting peak global warming to 1.5°C will very likely not be possible and would lead to a multi-decadal, high overshoot of this limit, the Climate Action Tracker said today. The CAT released its "Guide read more...

The European Commission proposed a 2040 emission reductions target, which would only be 1.5˚C aligned if accompanied with significantly higher international climate finance and which, disappointingly, is at the least ambitious end of the 90-95% range recommended to it, the Climate Action Tracker said today.The new 2040 proposal assumes no read more...

Despite their promises, governments have not taken enough action to drive down warming projections, with some instead turning to false solutions such as CCS to continue the world's reliance on fossil fuels, the Climate Action Tracker said today as it released its annual warming update at COP28.

While COP28 president the UAE has slightly improved its 2030 climate target, it still plans to increase fossil fuel production and consumption and emissions are set to continue rising through 2030, according to the Climate Action Tracker's updated UAE analysis, published today.While the 2050 Energy Strategy published early this month read more...

Bonn, Germany—An immediate halt to new oil and gas investments and a phase-out of production should be the focus of the COP28 climate summit this year, as the sector is acting like there's a goldrush, not a climate crisis, the Climate Action Tracker warned today.
