Yes, policy is increasing in quality and quantity. But we are still far off. The plot below show the change in ambition, stringency, implementation, and comprehensiveness since 2020. The further out, the better. We are inching up, but need to speed up.
Three-quarters of policies in the last year were adopted outside of North America and Europe. Moreover, in some policy domains the average level of ambition in Africa, Latin America, and Asia is HIGHER.

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.

The 2025 Stocktake from @netzerotracker.bsky.social shows US corporate pledges rose 9% in the past year, now covering $12 trillion in revenue.

The finding that sticks in my head:
🇺🇸US corporate net zero targets grew 9% over last 12 months, 279 ➡️ 304
Yes, some are blowing with the political wind. But more are stepping up.
