This report assesses how fast fossil gas power generation must be phased out in different parts of the world to keep the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C temperature goal in reach.

Developed countries must also significantly ramp up climate finance to developing countries for the world to achieve the Paris Agreement’s climate goal.

Governments can virtually halve exposure to potentially lethal temperatures for hundreds of millions of people in South Asia if global efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C are successful, according to a new first-of-its-kind study, published today in Geophysical Research Letters.

By aligning the next round of carbon cutting targets with the 1.5°C limit in the Paris Agreement, governments could halve the massive GDP losses in tropical countries and other severe climate impacts that would otherwise be expected by the end of this century under current climate action, according to a study published today in Earth System Dynamics.

Amid growing public concern as climate impacts start to bite, governments must take bold action to address the rise in greenhouse gas emissions, but most of them are not, said the Climate Action Tracker at the Bonn climate talks on 19 June 2019, as it released its latest update of government action.
