3. Increasing the focus on the light industry sector, which holds significant mitigation potential but is currently underrepresented.

To enhance alignment with the 1.5 °C goal, we propose: 1. Establishing more ambitious long-term targets since several initiatives lack sustainability beyond 2030. 2. Expanding thematic coverage to include N₂O and fluorinated gas mitigation, which are often overlooked

Our study defined relevant indicators linked to each Agenda objective and used the IMAGE model to assess how initiatives per objective align with the below 2 °C and 1.5 °C pathways. While current initiatives are on track for a below 2 °C pathway by 2030, they fall short beyond that.

The updated Global Action Agenda from COP30 lays a foundation for climate cooperation, yet it has a crucial gap: its objectives lack measurable goals.

It's a small step to add measurable goals to the Action Agenda objectives, but a giant leap toward implementing the Paris goals. lnkd.in/eeNKdwv3 @achieveproject.bsky.social @micheldenelzen.bsky.social

Our study used the IMAGE model to assess how initiatives classified under this agenda align with below 2 °C and 1.5 °C pathways. While current initiatives are on track for a below 2 °C pathway by 2030, they fall short beyond that.

Therefore, greater ambition, expanded scope, and concrete action plans are needed to align with the Paris Agreement’s temperature goals.

In our article, we show that gaps exist in thematic coverage, ambition, and implementation.

Voluntary climate initiatives have the potential to guide deeper, sustained reductions under the UNFCCC, but significant gaps remain. www-sciencedirect-com.utrechtuniversity.idm.oclc.org/science/arti... @micheldenelzen.bsky.social @achieveproject.bsky.social
