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...

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. Only one country - The Gambia - is rating 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...

Diese Analyse ist auch auf Deutsch verfügbar.A Paris Agreement-compatible target for Germany would be emissions reductions of at least 69% by 2030, more than the 65% that was announced last week, according an analysis released by the Climate Action Tracker today The CAT warned that Germany needs to ramp up read more...

Government announcements of new climate targets have brought down projected end of century warming by 0.2 degrees C, with the projected warming from Paris Agreement pledges now at 2.4˚C, according to new analysis released today by the Climate Action Tracker (CAT). The projected warming from the “optimistic scenario” assuming full read more...

Yesterday’s climate action announcements at US President Biden’s Leaders’ Summit on Climate, together with those announced since September last year, have narrowed the 2030 emissions gap by around 12-14% (2.6-3.7 GtCO2e), according to a provisional post-Summit analysis by the Climate Action Tracker. The largest contributions came from the US, the read more...

If the Biden Administration wants the US to be a climate leader, its new 2030 Paris Agreement target should aim for national emissions reductions of at least 57-63% below 2005 levels,1 according to the Climate Action Tracker (CAT). This would be a domestic target, and would set the US emissions read more...

日本語訳はこちら：2021_03_CAT_1.5C-consistent_benchmarks_Japan_NDC-Translation.pdfJapan needs to increase its Paris Agreement 2030 climate target to more than 60% below 2013 levels, a target that would be 1.5˚C compatible and set it on a domestic emission pathway to reach its 2050 net zero target, according to new Climate Action Tracker analysis released today. The Japanese read more...

Paris turning point: net zero targets would bring warming to 2.1°CIf all national governments meet their 2050 net zero emissions targets, warming could be as low as 2.1˚C by 2100, putting the Paris Agreement’s 1.5˚C limit within striking distance, according to new calculations by the Climate Action Tracker.However, all eyes read more...
