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."
2035 TARGET: #SouthAfrica ’s 2035 NDC continues declining emissions trend and is below 2030 range — but ambition hasn’t increased. The 2035 target is less 1.5°C-aligned than the 2030 NDC. Coal phase-out delays and slow progress in buildings, transport & industry remain key gaps.

Ten years ago today, governments finalised the Paris Agreement, cementing in the 1.5˚C warming limit as a guardrail, a survial line for many countries.
Thanks to the #ParisAgreement, they have reduced projected 2100 warming by 1˚C, down to 2.6˚C from the 3-4˚C we were projecting in 2015.

This weekend the #G20 meets in Johannesburg: Our new report shows if governments, by 2030 (and beyond) act on three COP28 Energy & Methane goals, it will make a big difference to end of century warming.
But the heavy lifting needs to come from the G20.

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.
