This event takes stock of efforts by businesses, cities, and international cooperative initiatives and discusses new reports, progress and impacts, and opportunities to enhance NDCs and accelerate action across all sectors.

The event will discuss how the net zero world is coming into sharper focus, through more convergence (of net zero standards), enhanced context (of what matters) and increased credibility (of entities' targets).

In this event we presented the latest research on the progress of major emitting countries and emission-intensive industries against Paris-consistent transition pathways and benchmarks. Featured research projects include various modelling projects supported by the European Union and the European Commission (e.g. ENGAGE) as well as analysis by the Systems Change Lab recently published in its State of Climate Action 2022 report . Speakers: Louise Jeffery, NewClimate Institute Michel Elzen, Senior climate policy analyst, PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency Ioannis Dafnomilis...

The UNEP Emissions Gap Report 2022: The Closing Window — Climate crisis calls for rapid transformation of societies provides an updated assessment of the gap between where we are heading in terms of global GHG emissions and where we need to be in 2030 to get on track towards the temperature goal of the Paris Agreement. This year’s report emphasizes the urgency of transformation, with a specific focus on key sectors, food systems and financial systems. This joint UNFCCC and UNEP special event featured high-level opening remarks and a presentation of the key findings of the UNEP Emissions Gap...

This event explored a just transition to sustainable mobility, with particular focus on regional and gendered perspectives. It included a deep dive into the hard-to-abate aviation sector, to discuss how equitable net-zero aviation could be delivered, while ensuring access to mobility for all. Speakers: Silke Mooldijk, NewClimate Institute Dan Rutherford, ICCT Akash Goenka, AEEE Sarah Colenbrander, ODI Jeremy Anderson, International Transport Workers’ Federation Jo Dardenne, Transport & Environment Further speakers tbc The event started at 11h30 local time / 10h30 CET.

The Net Zero Tracker aims to increase transparency and accountability of net zero targets pledged by nations, states and regions, cities and companies.

The event presented and discussed the results of multiple years of work to develop and update Paris-compatible sectoral benchmarks. Sectoral benchmarks break down the mitigation objectives under the Paris Agreement to the sectoral level and hence make them more accessible to a broader audience. Those benchmarks aim at helping decision makers to assess if recent developments and future targets of countries, as well as non-state and subnational actors, are compatible with the Paris Agreement’s long-term temperature limit. Beyond providing the benchmark, they also enlighten on the road to achieve...

This event launched the Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) 2023. The Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) is a tool for increasing transparency in international climate change policy we publish annually together with Germanwatch and Climate Action Network . It aims to enable transparency in international climate politics and comparability of individual countries’ climate protection efforts and progress. The CCPI uses a framework of standardised criteria to assess and compare the climate performances of 60 countries and the EU (as of CCPI 2022). These collectively account for over 90%...

The Net Zero Tracker is the world’s only open-source independent review of the quantity and quality of net zero targets across countries, regions, cities, and companies and is complemented by ChatNetZero, the world’s first net-zero policy and action chatbot powered by large language models (LLMs).

This side event featured a presentation and discussions with the audience of the main findings of the 13th edition of UNEP Emissions Gap Report.

The CAT team presented the latest Global Update briefing at a press conference at COP27.

Delivering climate action by 2030 to limit warming to 1.5°C will require rapid transformations across our major systems – energy, industry, food, forest and land, finance and more. To what extent are we on track? Where is change accelerating or lagging? What trends are revealed across these interconnected systems? How can we bolster the enabling conditions needed to scale transformation and navigate barriers? Systems Change Lab at COP27 unveiled our new open-source data platform and discussed the latest findings from the State of Climate Action 2022 . Speakers: Ahmed Saeed, Vice President...

As part of the Glasgow Climate Pact, governments agreed to revisit and strengthen their 2030 climate targets. In this side event, the Climate Action Tracker gave an overview of government NDC progress. The Climate Action Tracker tracks government climate targets and action in around 40 countries and analyses what this means for end of century warming. The event started at 14h30 (EET) / 13h30 (CET). Speakers: Mia Moisio (NewClimate Institute) Claire Stockwell (Climate Analytics) Partner organisations of the Climate Action Tracker

The data platform analyses the state of play across each system, explains how systems are connected and identifies actions that can accelerate change.

Join us on November 3 from 3-4pm CET / 10-11am EDT for our launch event for the State of Climate Action 2022 report.

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.

In this event, the CAT team presented their evaluation of governments’ net zero target design and outline what needs to happen between now and COP27.
