This report is the most comprehensive assessment of non-state actor commitments to reduce greenhouse gases to date.

Niklas Höhne presents from Paris at COP21 on the impacts of non-state and subnational action for climate change mitigation. 07 December 2015 12:00, German Pavilion, COP21
The aim of this study is to quantify the potential impact of a selected number of actions by non-state actors and partnerships on Germany’s GHG emissions. We focus chiefly on the impact of such initiatives on the 2020 emissions gap, although our analysis also extends to longer-term targets (2030 to 2050) wherever such pledges exist. Read More
