1.5°C-aligned 2030 and 2035 GHG emissions targets
We have produced factsheets for Australia, 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.

Climate Action Tracker: 2024 warming projection update
Despite an escalating climate crisis marked by unprecedented wildfires, storms, floods, and droughts, the Climate Action Tracker annual global temperature update shows global warming projections for 2100 are flatlining, with no improvement since 2021. The aggregate effect of current policies set the world on a path toward 2.7°C of warming.

Decarbonising light-duty vehicle road transport
The Climate Action Tracker provides updated 1.5ºC compatible benchmarks for the transport sector for the world as a whole and for seven individual countries; the US, EU, China, India, Brazil, South Africa and Indonesia.

Emissions Gap Report 2024: No more hot air … please!
The 2024 edition of UNEP’s Emissions Gap Report shows how much higher nations must aim. To get on a least-cost pathway for 1.5°C, emissions must fall 42 per cent by 2030, compared to 2019 levels. G20 nations, particularly the largest-emitting members, would need to do the heavy lifting.
What did we just agree to? The COP29 outcome
This COP is already being reflected on as one of the most difficult in the history of the negotiations. And the final text has not made it all worth it. So, what was agreed? And what does it mean for addressing the climate crisis and the work to come next year on the road to COP30 in Belém?
New gas and oil has prevented CO2 global emissions from peaking
The Global Carbon Budget's first estimate for 2024's CO2 emissions suggests emissions rose by 0.8% this year. We delve into why we haven't peaked emissions yet.
By the numbers: the climate action we need this decade
We break down the transformational changes needed in the power, buildings, transport and agriculture sectors to slash greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade.
The IEA just published its 2024 World Energy Outlook: what does it say?
Our experts pull out the key messages from the International Energy Agency's 2024 global update on the energy sector and its implications for the climate.

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.
Understanding the climate impacts associated with temporarily overshooting 1.5°C
This project is working to develop the science around what the climate impacts of temporarily overshooting 1.5°C would mean for our climate.
