Our projects

The 1.5°C national pathway explorer, developed in collaboration with the IKEA Foundation, uses global and regional IPCC models to develop national and sectoral decarbonisation pathways.

The Climate Action Tracker is an independent science-based assessment, which tracks the emission commitments and actions of countries.

The RESCUE (Response of the Earth System to overshoot, Climate neutrality and negative Emissions) project aims to improve our knowledge and understanding of the climate and Earth system responses to climate neutrality and net negative emissions.

Coal is the most carbon intensive fossil fuel - phasing it out is key to achieving the 1.5°C Paris Agreement goal. Most emissions from coal are in the electricity sector, so coal’s phase-out is relatively cheap and easy, as the technologies that can replace it already exist. Our research shows coal needs to be phased out globally by 2040 for the world to meet its climate commitments.

We provide technical support to vulnerable developing countries to develop 2035 Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Long Term Low Emissions Development Strategies (LT-LEDS). The project aims to empower these countries to develop more ambitious emissions reduction and adaptation targets that contribute to global efforts in achieving the Paris Agreement.
