We're an independent scientific project tracking government climate action, measuring it against the Paris Agreement aim of "holding warming well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C."

The extreme heat & drought of summer 2026 should be a turning point for German climate policy. Instead, Parliament will soon consider measures that could weaken support for renewable energy as part of a broader retreat from climate action. Read the blog 🔗 climateactiontracker.org/blog/germany...

🇪🇺 Europe is placing growing pressure on its energy systems. Yet the EU is weakening some of the very policies needed to confront the #ClimateCrisis. Watering down previously agreed policies is pushing a 1.5°C-compatible pathway further out of reach. climateactiontracker.org/countries/eu/

Three major energy shocks in a decade, yet many governments still treat #FossilFuel volatility as a temporary disruption. Dependence on fossil fuels leaves countries exposed to geopolitical turmoil and price shocks. As Bill Hare notes, the #ClimateCrisis remains the larger existential risk.

Saudi Arabia’s latest climate pledge is once again undermined by a lack of transparency. It provides no 2035 emissions reduction target, and the 2040 target is tied to an unspecified baseline projection, making ambition and progress impossible to measure.

Nigeria submitted its 2035 NDC in September 2025: it is 1.5°C aligned, representing a high level of ambition. However, Nigeria's current policies are projected to significantly increase emissions, which conflicts with the new targets.

Again, India chooses a more polluting, expensive solution to its heat-related electricity crisis - more fossil fuels. It would be better off putting this cash into renewables & grid stabilisation instead of fuelling the #climate crisis bringing the heatwaves. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Colombia’s 2035 #ClimateTarget sends mixed signals on ambition. While the country has reaffirmed its 2030 commitment & introduced a slightly lower emissions target for 2035, the bigger picture is concerning: progress is not keeping pace with what’s needed for a 1.5°C pathway.

Peru’s latest #NDC marks a step backwards on ambition. The country submitted a conditional NDC target for 2035 at the same emissions level as its 2030 target, which was already not aligned with 1.5°C, in either 2030 or 2035. 🚨 A clear lack of progression. climateactiontracker.org/countries/pe...

If the EU wants a chance of reaching net zero emissions by 2050 and staying on track with the 1.5°C limit, it needs to ramp up ambition: it needs to at least ensure its 2040 target of 90% net reductions is reached domestically and ideally increase it to 95% 🔗 climateactiontracker.org/press/respon...

China released its 15th Five-Year Plan (FYP). The plan reinforces the rapid expansion of clean energy, but it does not translate this momentum into stronger binding emissions targets. Read our full reaction here 🔗 climateactiontracker.org/press/reacti...
White text on blue background with CAT logo. Text is a quote saying "China's 15th five year plan is a missed opportunity. 

While it continues to strongly  emphasise clean energy development, it could have gone further. 
 
A 17% reduction in carbon-intensity target would actually allow China's emission to increase by 3% under a conservative GDP growth.”

2035 TARGET: #SouthAfrica ’s 2035 NDC continues declining emissions trend and is below 2030 range — but ambition hasn’t increased. The 2035 target is less 1.5°C-aligned than the 2030 NDC. Coal phase-out delays and slow progress in buildings, transport & industry remain key gaps. 🔗 bit.ly/490Nrgt

2035 TARGET ANALYSIS: #Chile's new 2035 climate target is not 1.5˚C aligned according to its fair share, and the gap between its target and 1.5˚C pathways has grown compared to 2030. The 2035 emissions level would require additional action to meet. bit.ly/CAT_CHI_2035

Ten years ago today, governments finalised the Paris Agreement, cementing in the 1.5˚C warming limit as a guardrail, a survial line for many countries. Thanks to the #ParisAgreement, they have reduced projected 2100 warming by 1˚C, down to 2.6˚C from the 3-4˚C we were projecting in 2015.
