Australia has long been regarded as lagging behind the rest of the world in terms of implementing climate policies. This report tracks Australia's domestic action to 2020 against the global 2°C or lower (1.5°C) pathway.

The Bangkok climate talks have not changed the gap between emission reduction pledges and what is to needed to get the world on track for limiting global warming to 2 and 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.

This paper explores how Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) could be designed for Least Developed Countries to be able to effectively participate, including the provision of finance.

This report, published by the United Nations Environment Program, outlines how far the current commitments and pledges of developed and developing nations can take the world in terms of achieving the 2°C limit or less, and the gap that remains between ambition and reality.

This paper shows that ambitious global greenhouse gas mitigation action in a transparent and effective international climate regime is of great importance to Least Developed Countries.

The Review to be held from 2013–2015 is a key mechanism to assess the adequacy of the long-term global goal, with a view to strengthening the goal to keep long-term increase in temperature to below 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
