Below 2°C or 1.5°C depends on rapid action from both Annex I and non-Annex I countries
Deeper cuts needed by all sooner, especially in energy and industry, to keep to 2°CAll governments will have to significantly increase their action on climate change – both before 2020 and after, reducing total global greenhouse gas emissions to zero between 2060 and 2080, to keep warming to 2°C.To achieve read more...
In talks for a new climate treaty, a race to the bottom
Weak government action on climate change will lead to a projected 3.7degC of warming by 2100, around 0.6degC higher than the original promises they made in Copenhagen, the Climate Action Tracker (CAT) said today.The annual assessment by the CAT, a project of research organisations: Climate Analytics, Ecofys and the Potsdam read more...
Japan’s reverses Copenhagen pledge, widens global emissions gap, nuclear shutdown not to blame
Japan’s new 2020 target of a 3.8% cut in emissions at 2005 levels, announced overnight, will increase its own emissions and widen the global emissions gap by 3-4%, according to the Climate Action Tracker.The new target will mean that by 2020, Japan’s emissions will have increased by 3.1 percent above read more...
Australian climate move would turn climate target into emissions increase
The Australian Government’s plans to dismantle the current climate legislation could lead to it increasing emissions in 2020 rather than meeting its target of reducing them by 5% from 2000 levels, the Climate Action Tracker said today.As Prime Minister Tony Abbott introduced legislation into the Australian Parliament today, the Climate read more...
“Climate shuffle” likely to lead to increased warming
Against a background of stalled climate talks, current analyses of climate policies show that governments are less likely than ever to deliver on the Copenhagen pledges, let alone keep global warming below 2degC, the Climate Action Tracker said today in its latest update, released at the Bonn climate talks.Current emissions read more...
Staying below 2°C: the choices we face

Two degrees possible, but time is not on our side: Climate Action Tracker
Limiting global warming below 2degC - or even to below 1.5DegC remains technically and economically feasible, but only with political ambition backed by rapid action starting now, the Climate Action Tracker said today.
Governments set world on more than 3°C warming, still playing with numbers
Governments are still set to send global temperatures above 3°C by 2100, even though their agreed warming limit of 2°C is still technically possible, scientists said today.In releasing their latest update at the Bangkok UN climate talks, the Climate Action Tracker (CAT), a joint project of Climate Analytics, Ecofys and read more...
Emissions gap looks set to increase if Government action doesn’t step up: scientists
Many Governments do not appear to be implementing policies to meet their 2020 emission reduction pledges, and could increase – not shrink, the gap between real emissions and what’s needed to keep global temperature rise to 1.5 or 2 degC, according to the Climate Action Tracker, a joint project of read more...
Mexico has potential to meet its ambitious climate targets, but more action needed
Mexico has made some of the most advanced efforts in the developing world to tackle climate change, including passing strong climate change law, however Mexico still has a long way to go to achieve its emissions reduction targets, according to a new report, released today.México ha llevado a cabo algunos read more...
