The Climate Action Tracker finds that if the International Maritime Organization adopts of the Net Zero Framework (delayed from October 2025 to April 2026), the shipping sector's emissions would be consistent with global temperature rise being held near 2°C – whereas under a business-as-usual trajectory emissions could drift toward 4°C by 2050.

The Middle East crisis and a volatile oil and gas supply is exposing India's structural weakness: a deep and persistent dependence on imported fossil fuels.

Adaptation planning should include the impacts that can be avoided by high mitigation ambition – including which impacts are reversible from overshooting the 1.5°C limit and which are irreversible. This includes mitigation actions themselves, such as carbon dioxide removal, to avoid land use challenges.

Whether the Agreement ultimately succeeds depends on whether political leaders and their governments have the courage to close the ambition gap, phase out fossil fuels, scale up finance for a just transition, and protect people already facing mounting loss and damage.

No certainty on delivery of key reports for the second Global Stocktake as IPCC fails to agree on dates for AR7 at IPCC-63 in Lima

Methane is a highly potent but short-lived greenhouse gas, and its emissions are rising globally and across all sectors. Taking strong action this decade, especially in the energy sector, is necessary to deliver rapid climate benefits and keep the 1.5°C Paris Agreement goal within reach.
