Briefings
The Structured Expert Dialogue (SED) has reviewed the adequacy of the agreed Long Term Goal of holding warming below 2°C. It has now released a technical summary - showing 2°C limit is too warm for many vulnerable systems and regions, and a 1.5°C limit would be significantly safer.
![Benchmark emission levels for 2025 and 2030 consistent with the below 2°C limit and the 1.5°C limit](https://ca1-clm.edcdn.com/publications/_c400x565/ca_briefing_benchmark_emissions_1p5_and_2oc_2020_2025_2030_20150210_final_bh_may.pdf-7288.jpg?v=1706738379)
Briefings
This briefing paper analyses the available information in the 2014 UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2014 (‘EGR’) and the IPCC AR5 to produce recommended benchmark emission levels for 2020, 2025 and 2030.
![Switzerland INDC: first in, but room for improvement](https://ca1-clm.edcdn.com/publications/_c400x565/cat_switzerland_indc.pdf-76214.jpg?v=1706836293)
Briefings
Switzerland is the first government to formally submit an INDC to the UNFCCC. It aims at halving greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 1990 levels, with at least a 30% reduction by 2030 domestically.

Briefings
This Climate Action Tracker Update describes a new method to assess “comparable efforts” and the “fair share” of governments’ national greenhouse gas reduction proposals.

Briefings
In this briefing, we outline the implications of different effort-sharing criteria and metrics on emission reduction efforts for South Africa in the post-2015 climate agreement.
