The Trump Administration’s intended withdrawal of the US from the Paris Agreement and its rollbacks of domestic climate policy will leave US greenhouse gas emissions at least 3% higher in 2030 than with the policies still in place. Nevertheless, the CAT projects US emissions to be 2% lower than what read more...

October 2019Chile is one of the first countries to propose an updated and clearly more ambitious Paris Agreement pledge (or “nationally determined contribution” - NDC). This development is a globally important leadership signal as Chile is hosting the Climate Conference in December in a context where, under the Paris Agreement read more...

Meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement will require a step change in emissions reductions efforts and major changes in how the global economy functions. Governments around the world will play a critical role in enabling this transformation through coordinating action from all aspects of society and the economy towards read more...

Government climate policies globally are likely to lead to a breaching of the 1.5degree warming limit by 2035, 2 degrees by 2053 and a total warming of 3.2 degrees by the end of the century, the Climate Action Tracker (CAT) warned today in its latest update.This projection is based on read more...

Argentina podría reducir sus emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) hasta un 94% por debajo de los niveles de 2014 para 2050 en tres sectores clave: electricidad, edificios residenciales y transporte terrestre de pasajeros y mercancías, lo que la colocaría en el buen camino para convertirse en líder mundial read more...

Argentina could reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by up to 94% below 2014 levels by 2050 in three key sectors: electricity, residential buildings and land-based passenger and freight transport, setting it well on the way to becoming a global frontrunner in an ambitious energy transition, according to an analysis released read more...

Bonn - 19 June 2019 -- Amid growing public concern as climate impacts start to bite, governments must take bold action to address the rise in greenhouse gas emissions, but most of them are not, said the Climate Action Tracker at the Bonn climate talks today, as it released its read more...

The CAT has launched our newly redesigned decarbonisation data portal. The new design improves user-friendliness and makes our extensive dataset even more accessible. Look out for updated data coming summer 2019!The data portal is dedicated to tracking the underlying drivers of greenhouse gas emissions. It’s clear that to stay within read more...

The latest paper in our decarbonisation series looks at the high-speed, large-scale transformations that must be achieved on the way to the zero-carbon future required to meet the Paris Agreement’s 1.5˚C warming limit.Reaching a “transformation point”—the moment when new technologies, behaviours or market models achieve critical mass and take off—can read more...

If all governments achieve their largely insufficient climate targets, the world will see 3.0˚C of warming by 2100, twice the 1.5˚C limit they agreed in Paris three years ago, according to the Climate Action Tracker’s annual update, delivered today at the climate talks in Katowice, Poland. However, there has been read more...
