📈 Climate policy is growing and getting stronger📈
New rules continue to be added at a fast pace. More importantly, our detailed assessment allows us to measure their quality. Ambition has risen significantly since 2020, and a bit less (but still some) since 2024.

Might the COP30 boss be so connected to reality that he's aware of a few things that have happened during the two short years since Dec 2023?

The energy transition is unambiguously under way — even though it is still not fast enough, still too heavily reliant on China’s domestic efforts, and the progress that has been made occurred before Trump began doing his best to prolong the life of fossil fuels.

#COP30 is about implementation.
We've made #ParisAgreement progress, but not enough as @unep.org #EmissionsGap data shows
That does not mean we give up.
It means we become more determined.
In Belém UNEP is supporting proven solutions on:
🌍 Methane
🌎 Sustainable cooling
🌏 Buildings & construction

Climate change - from CO₂ to crisis. It starts with accumulation of greenhouse gas emissions but leads to multiple global repercussions. Climate change isn’t a distant threat — it’s a systemic chain reaction already in motion & steadily increasing in severity.

What of the alternative that Helm suggests, "a bottom-up coalition of unilateralist countries on carbon targets"? Germany tried this in the G7 in 2023, but when the US rejects climate science and China and Russia continue to push fossil fuels, there are few large emitters to make such a club work.

The report explores how Big Carbon and Big Tech use disinformation to sabotage climate action and why, despite 89% of people worldwide demanding stronger action, progress gets derailed.
