With this summer marking the hottest on record and following a year where the global annual temperature exceeded 1.5˚C, the urgency for accelerated and more effective climate action has never been clearer. As we approach COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, critical discussions around the most pressing climate topics – from climate finance, corporate accountability in climate action to national climate targets for 2035 – are laying the groundwork for the UN’s main climate conference. As the countdown to COP29 continues, Climate Week NYC, the largest annual climate event of its kind, will take place from...

At the launch event in Brussels, ECNO will present their newest findings and engage with relevant high-profile stakeholders from the European Parliament and the economy.

The CAT released its "Guide to a good 2035 target" at the climate talks in Bonn, Germany today, setting out a detailed, four-point recipe of key elements governments need to include in their next round of climate targets (Nationally Determined Contributions or NDCs), to be submitted to the UNFCCC from November this year.

The Climate Action Tracker (CAT) team presented their latest briefing at a press conference at the SB60 in Bonn.

The goal of this Science Policy Dialogue, organised by German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS) and by the University of Bonn, is to discuss insights from the latest policy-relevant research on climate action. We invite you to join us to reflect on the lessons learnt and how we can put them into practice in the context of the UNFCCC negotiations and beyond.

On June 5th, the Net Zero Tracker is co-hosting an event alongside CDP, Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership (CISL), Climate Chance, InfluenceMap and NewClimate Institute at Bonn Climate Change Conference, examining the role of the private sector in bolstering ambitious and credible NDCs on the road to COP30.

The closed door workshop focuses on the interplay between geopolitical shifts and international climate policy.

The Climate Action Tracker's (CAT) Data Explorer is an interactive web-based tool, that allows users to explore CAT data from CAT's country analyses, country ratings and 1.5°C compatible sector benchmarks to help better understand countries’ progress on climate mitigation. The Data Explorer covers the following data: Country emissions analysis Country ratings Sector indicators and 1.5°C compatible benchmarks All data and visuals are available for download.

This project identifies opportunities to strengthen and scale up voluntary climate action, with the aim of achieving a worldwide net-zero society by 2050.

The project establishes a horizon scanning system to systematically identify trends and developments across all areas of the economy and society that are relevant in the context of the government’s climate protection policy.

In this COP28 side event, government representatives and others explored how countries, cities and others can use a strong Global Stocktake outcome at COP28 as a jumping off point for advancing bold climate actions and policies at home, including laying the groundwork for submitting much stronger nationally determined contributions (NDCs) in 2025.

This side event, hosted by Net Zero Tracker, discussed critical opportunities to match the ever-growing take-up of net zero targets with increased robustness to, in turn, unlock ambition loops and regain climate momentum.

This press conference launches the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) 2024 at COP28.

The CCPI monitors the climate mitigation progress of 63 countries and the European Union, together responsible for more than 90% of global emissions.

Framed by the current climate crisis, exemplified by the record-breaking events of this summer, the event will highlight the growing role environmental data play in informing decisions and policies of our society, through a variety of voices and experiences

This joint UNFCCC and UNEP side event features a presentation of the key findings of the UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2023 followed by a panel discussion on what we need from the Global Stocktake.
