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."
COUNTRY ANALYSIS: #Colombia is a Latin American standout on #climate: ambitious commitments, a surge in solar PV expansion, record-high sales of electric vehicles, and a sharp decline in deforestation in recent years. But its implementation still lags far behind its ambition.

COUNTRY ANALYSIS: #China's 2035 NDC is unlikely to drive emissions down, but should be understood as a floor not a ceiling.
We project 2025 could mark a year of peak CO2 emissions if current momentum continues.

#China's new #climate target is unlikely to drive down emissions: the country will already achieve it under its current policies.
It's a net target that includes land use & forestry; an absolute target wld be more transparent
It's a shift from emissions & energy intensity to absolute emissions

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.
