The German transport sector is lagging in climate action. Delayed reductions in emissions will require drastic measures to achieve climate neutrality by 2045.

This project quantifies the contribution of different sectoral actions and compares it to the literature to closing the global greenhouse gas emissions mitigation gap in 2030.

This project aims to further advance the understanding of the universe of global subnational and non-state climate action, the potential impact of these actors on global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and their actual progress.

ELEVATE aims to develop scientific insights to support the preparations of Nationally Determined Contributions and national climate policies focused on achieving net-zero emissions in line with the Paris Agreement.

This project assesses the proposed target pathway of the Netherlands’ government in the context of the required global efforts and the country’s historical responsibility and capability, which are both key principles of the international efforts against climate change and the Paris Agreement. The analysis finds that the Netherlands’ proposed target pathway of a 55%/70%/80% reduction below 1990 by 2030/2035/2040 and greenhouse gas neutrality by 2050 cannot be considered fully compatible with the Paris Agreement 1.5°C limit.

The systems change lab website and accompanying State of Climate Action report identify what is needed for transformational change across multiple sectors and track global progress toward those changes.

The study analyses the need for stronger integration of climate and development policy in the global South required for the achievement of the PA.

The purpose of this project was to develop a method to systematically assess the design of NDCs and to apply it to 20 NDCs.

Development and update of the Climate Policy Database which will serve as key inputs to various climate policy scenario analyses.

Scaling Up Climate Action country series, identifies options for increased sectoral action that move countries compatible with the PA.

The CAT expands to evaluate the ability and readiness of national governments to the required economy-wide zero emissions society.

The index evaluates and compares the climate protection performance of the 58 largest emitters of GHG emissions globally.

Developed a scientific and policy relevant assessment of the long-term goal to limit global temperature increase to 1.5°C in the Paris Agreement.

This analysis translates the goals of the international climate regime as determined by the Paris Agreement into the context of the Netherlands.

Companies commitments to contribute to the long-term targets of the PA can significantly reduce emissions, with supportive policy.
