Fair carbon removal obligations under climate response uncertainty
We assess the level of ‘preventive’ CDR needed to draw warming down to 1.5°C in case of a stronger-than-average Earth System response.

Reversal of the impact chain for actionable climate information
This study helps local decision-makers understand the link between the risks they want to avoid (i.e. health-related heat risks) and CO2 emissions using a new method that makes identifying critical risk levels easier for non-scientists.

Humid heat exceeds human tolerance limits and causes mass mortality
With critical physiological limits to human heat tolerance drawing ever closer, this Comment highlights the urgent need to limit further climate warming and emphasises the adaptation challenge ahead.

1.5°C-aligned 2030 and 2035 GHG emissions targets
We have produced factsheets for Australia, Brazil, China, the EU, India, Indonesia and USA showing 2030 and 2035 greenhouse gas emission reduction milestones for each jurisdiction to align with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C goal – both including and excluding land use, land-use change and forestry.

Spatially resolved emulated annual temperature projections for overshoot pathways
This study presents a new dataset of annual temperature projections for different overshoot pathways (when the 1.5 °C of global warming limit is exceeded). The data offers a unique opportunity to study local and regional climate change impacts of a range of overshoot scenarios, including when temperature thresholds might be exceeded, and by how much.

Geological Net Zero and the need for disaggregated accounting for carbon sinks
This study in Nature show that definitions of net zero now in widespread use will not actually stop global warming. The paper demonstrates that relying on natural carbon sinks, such as in forests or oceans, to 'offset' ongoing fossil fuel emissions will lead to continued warming.
Battle lines drawn at IPCC plenary as timeline decision successfully delayed for the third time
The role of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in providing science input into the Paris Agreement and its critical five yearly Global Stocktake is under challenge.
How the new NDCs can mainstream gender to accelerate climate action
Mainstreaming gender in the new NDCs can help unlock the full potential of women and girls as powerful agents of change in the climate fight - here's how.
Just transition discussions at the climate negotiations are in limbo
COP29 concluded with more than a few agenda items left unresolved. One was the 'just transition work programme'. What happened during these negotiations? And how can we ensure a better outcome at COP30?
Reaching the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C limit: are we there yet?
Two new papers published in Nature Climate Change today ask whether the recent global temperatures at or exceeding 1.5° warming above preindustrial mean the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C limit has been reached or will soon be?
'Like a warm bath': coral reefs rocked by heatwave
Most countries miss UN deadline for new climate targets
Projects
Climate Action Tracker
The Climate Action Tracker is an independent science-based assessment, which tracks the emission commitments and actions of countries.
Climate ambition support
Supporting climate-vulnerable countries in strengthening their roles and voices in international climate negotiations.
Advancing knowledge on loss and damage in the Caribbean
The IsLanD Advancement project aims to improve access to loss and damage finance in the Caribbean through better data and awareness raising.
