New German government not yet making full use of the potential momentum for climate action
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...
Governments could reduce gas imports from Russia by decarbonising buildings sector
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’s one degree 2030 credibility gap: net zero’s lip service to climate action

RELEASE: Progress lagging across all sectors to limit warming to 1.5 C, but rapid change is possible, finds new report
To keep the window open to achieve the Paris Agreement’s goal to limit global warming to 1.5°C, decision-makers across all corners of society need to accelerate transformations toward a net-zero carbon emissions future at a far faster pace than recent trends, according to a new Systems Change Lab report authored read more...
Analysis: Despite “Code Red” on climate, target update momentum at a standstill
The momentum on updating 2030 targets for climate action has stalled since May, with no major emitters putting forward stronger climate targets, and the 2030 emissions gap has barely changed, according to new analysis released today by the Climate Action Tracker.
