Climate Action Tracker

We're an independent scientific project tracking government climate action, measuring it against the Paris Agreement aim of "holding warming well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C."

CAT Global Update 2025 🚨 Ten years after the #ParisAgreement we see little to no measurable progress in warming projections - for the fourth consecutive year.
The 2035 #NDCs have made no difference to our warming outlook.

The EU’s new 2035 target is far from 1.5°C aligned, our analysis shows.
To align with 1.5°C, the EU would need net reductions of at least:
• 77% below 1990 by 2035
• 90–95% by 2040
achieved domestically.

It's a net target that includes land use & forestry; an absolute target wld be more transparent

The Guardian has a draft of the EU NDC. As we commented in the article, it doesn't have any targets in it, and it's still too weak on near-term action, which is crucial for the 1.5˚C warming limit.
