This is the 2024 edition of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Emissions Gap Report series, which tracks our progress in limiting global warming well below 2°C and pursuing 1.5°C in line with the Paris Agreement.

In our 2024 update report, we modelled greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions towards 2030 based on countries’ policies as of July 2024 and compared these emissions to countries’ current NDC targets to evaluate whether countries are on track to meet them.

Assessing the status and trends of net zero target setting across countries, sub-national governments and companies.

This article assesses the potential emission reductions resulting from the implementation of the 14 Glasgow initiatives’ targets and the initiatives’ institutional robustness.

The 2024 CCRM analyses the climate strategies of 51 major global companies, critically assessing the extent to which they demonstrate corporate climate leadership.

National and international climate policy advances in many areas but also faces substantial domestic hurdles in others. In this publication, we outline critical national and international climate policy developments from 2023.

This article assesses the status, robustness, and potential impact of GHG emission reduction targets set by the 60 largest steel producer companies. Full implementation of existing targets would lead to 38-53% reduction of CO2 by 2050 from 2019 levels.

The 28th Conference of Parties of the UNFCCC takes place from 30 November - 12 December 2023. NewClimate Institute will be present in Dubai participating in multiple events and releasing new analyses.

This is the 2023 edition of the UNEP Emissions Gap Report series, which tracks our progress in limiting global warming well below 2°C and pursuing 1.5°C in line with the Paris Agreement.

Full implementation of existing policies and actions could result in 2030 emissions below 2019. Out of the 25 countries analysed, 13 are on track to meet their current NDCs.

The 2015 Paris Agreement emphasized non-state actors (NSAs) in climate action, but ‘‘greenwashing’’ concerns persist. The UN introduced a framework for NSA accountability through improved reporting. Yet, data remains inconsistent, especially in the Global South. We propose refining reporting, broadening data collection, and using innovative tech like AI for better tracking and accountability.

In this Science article, the authors researchers ranked 90% of global net-zero greenhouse gas emissions pledges as providing low confidence in their full implementation.

We evaluate the progress of the global steel sector towards decarbonisation through identifying and monitoring key progress indicators aligned with latest literature and assessing, and quantifying emission reduction targets and implementation plans of steel companies.

Evaluating how regions, cities and large companies are tracking against the recent UN Expert Group's recommendations on the net zero targets of non-state entities.
