The war in Ukraine and energy crisis have shown that a green energy transition is important for energy security as well as for climate change. While there is growing consensus on the need for a power sector coal phase-out, fossil gas has largely flown under the radar.
The Climate Action Tracker provides independent scientific analysis that tracks government climate action and measures it against the Paris Agreement goal of holding warming well below 2°C and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C.

Africa has 60% of the world’s best solar resources and a unique opportunity to capitalise on its low levels of fossil fuel infrastructure and growing demand for clean, affordable energy.
The Climate Risk Dashboard (BETA) allows you to explore future impacts from climate change as the world warms. Pick a geography, select one or several scenarios and explore corresponding impacts.
Gas is not a bridging fuel – it’s a fossil fuel. To reach the Paris Agreement’s 1.5˚C temperature goal, governments, investors and finance institutions must treat gas like coal and target it for swift phase-out.
Explore emission pathways in line with the Paris Agreement for different countries and 1.5°C compatible benchmarks for individual sectors.
