While India's NDC is credible and aligned with its domestic policy framework, it may not materially accelerate emissions reductions beyond the existing trajectory. We continue to rate India’s climate action as “Highly Insufficient." Full analysis here: climateactiontracker.org/countries/in...

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...

Türkiye's 2035 NDC cld see emissions plateau or even increase over the next decade, while the 2030 target remains unchanged, off-track. Türkiye continues to frame its targets as reductions fm a BAU scenario; no transparency on that scenario, raising questions about the true level of ambition.

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.

Its new climate pledge does not raise ambition, it lowers it. Its new emissions reduction target is set at a higher emissions level than the 2030 target, widening the gap with a 1.5°C-compatible pathway. ➡️ Updated 2035 #NDC analysis: climateactiontracker.org/countries/sa...

Climate Action Tracker @climateactiontracker.org · 08/06/2026
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.

There is no commitment in the #NDC to phase out #FossilFuels, and the Nigerian economy is still heavily reliant on oil and fossil gas exports. Click here to read more about Nigeria’s 2035 NDC target: climateactiontracker.org/countries/ni...

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.

Sidelining ‘Big Oil’ and decarbonizing shipping: Progress on the ‘Net-Zero Framework’
“While not perfect, in its current form the Net-Zero Framework is the IMO’s most ambitious emissions reductions mechanism to date…” Michael Petroni, Policy Analyst, Climate Action Tracker

The revised NDC also acknowledges that the central challenge for Colombia is not the level of ambition but implementation. Our assessment confirms: current and planned policies are insufficient to meet either its 2030 or 2035 targets. 2035 NDC tab: climateactiontracker.org/countries/co...
001
Climate Action Tracker @climateactiontracker.org · 29/04/2026
Colombia would need to reduce its emissions to 111 MtCO₂e, or by at least 44% below 2023 levels by 2035 (excl. LULUCF). The gap between Colombia’s NDC target and its 1.5°C compatible modelled domestic pathways has actually grown, from 12% for 2030 to 28% for 2035.
100
Climate Action Tracker @climateactiontracker.org · 29/04/2026
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.

To align itself with a 1.5°C trajectory, Viet Nam could: 🔹Reduce dependence on fossil fuels in near term. 🔹Avoid relying on fossil gas as a “transition fuel”. 🔹More emphasis on industrial decarbonisation. Full country analysis here: climateactiontracker.org/countries/vi...
021
Climate Action Tracker @climateactiontracker.org · 24/04/2026
Amid the ongoing energy crisis, Viet Nam, as a net importer of fossil fuels, has felt the strain of rising fuel prices and supply disruptions and leaning towards more coal. These challenges highlight the need for a comprehensive strategy to reduce fossil fuel dependency & transition to renewables.
121
Climate Action Tracker @climateactiontracker.org · 24/04/2026
Unfortunately, many transition initiatives lack a clear implementation strategy. They are undermined by the persistence of coal in electricity generation well beyond 2030. Moreover, the government’s strategy builds on expanding #fossilgas, particularly LNG imports.

Adoption of the NZF - or not - could decide if the #shipping sector's emissions would be consistent with global temperature rise being held near 2°C - or allowed to drift toward 4°C under a business-as-usual trajectory by 2050. All eyes on Saudi Arabia and the US who blocked its passage last year.

Following President Lee Jae-myung’s election, the country committed to a 2040 coal phase-out, a notable step but still too slow for 1.5°C alignment & undermined by increased LNG use. Its 2035 NDC falls short of 1.5°C pathways and lacks clarity on the use of intl. carbon credits.

The Republic of Indonesia has made limited progress in transitioning to a low-carbon economy, with little meaningful change across critical sectors. Power generation and industry remain heavily reliant on coal, while land-use emissions persist due to deforestation.
