Ahead of the climate talks starting in Bonn on Monday, the Climate Action Tracker today published an analysis of government progress since COP26 in Glasgow.Summary of findingsDespite the clear warning on the extreme dangers of exceeding 1.5°C warming from the IPCC, progress on new, more ambitious 2030 climate targets and read more...

This press release is also available in English.Während die deutsche Ampel-Regierung die Umsetzung der Klimapolitik im Inland deutlich beschleunigt, muss sie mehr tun, um ihr Ziel für 2030 zu erreichen. Dieses Ziel müsste sogar noch höher sein, um die Emissionen auf einen 1,5˚C-kompatiblen Pfad zu bringen, so die heute veröffentlichte read more...

Diese Pressemitteilung ist auch auf Deutsch verfügbar.While the newly-elected German government is significantly accelerating domestic climate policy implementation, it needs to take more action to achieve its 2030 target, which itself would need to be stronger to get emissions onto a 1.5˚C compatible pathway, according to the Climate Action Tracker’s read more...

The buildings sector is responsible for one fifth of global emissions, but governments are doing little to address them compared with other sectors, despite the necessary technologiesand successful policies beingtested already, saysa new report released by the Climate Action Tracker today.“Decarbonising buildings: achieving zero carbon heating and cooling” looks at read more...

Glasgow has a massive credibility, action and commitment gap as the world is heading to at least 2.4 ̊C of warming, if not more, the Climate Action Tracker warned today, in its annual global update at the COP26 climate talks. The CAT warned that the “good news” of the potential read more...

When the CAT started in 2009, we rated ONLY a government’s targets against what would contribute a ‘fair share.’ Since then, many things have changed. The Paris Agreement has been adopted, we better understand what needs to be done, and yet at the same time, global emissions have continued to read more...

This analysis is also available in English.Deutschland müsste seine Emissionen bis 2030 mindestens 69% unter 1990 reduzieren, um mit dem Pariser Klimaschutzabkommen kompatibel zu sein. Das wären mehr als die 65%, die letzte Woche angekündigt wurden, so eine Analyse, die heute vom Climate Action Tracker (CAT) veröffentlicht wurde. Der CAT read more...
