Climate Action Tracker
@climateactiontracker.org
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."
The current warming rate is set to accelerate by 2030 then only slowly decline.
Halving the warming rate by 2040 wld bring significant benefits for #adaptation planning; address the adaptation gap.
The more we can slow this warming rate, the better for vulnerable communities the world over.

Now we need to see them implement these agreed goals to address #climate change.

➡️ And if they also worked to end deforestation the result would be even bigger.

REPORT: If governments were to implement the promises they made in 2023, to triple renewables, double energy efficiency, reduce methane by 2030 & beyond, they could
✅ significantly cut projected warming - by 0.9˚C
✅ cut warming rate by a third by 2035 and halve it by 2040

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.

The longer we wait, the larger the "targets gap": from 2030 to 2035, the gap between climate targets and the pathways to 1.5°C is projected to grow up to two billion tonnes, up from 26-29 GtCO2e in 2030, to 26-31 GtCO2e by 2035.

The Paris Agreement works! In 2015, our current policies pathway led to 3.6°C of warming by 2100. 10 years later this has dropped by around 1°C. This framework has rewritten the rules of global climate action - sparking investment, innovation, & reforms that would simply not have happened without it

Almost none of the 40 governments we analyse have updated their 2030 target, which is critical to keep warming levels below 1.5°C
... nor have they set out the kind of action in their new 2035 targets that would change the warming outlook.
