To inform institutional reforms of the incoming 2024 European Commission and associated bodies in order to contribute to making climate diplomacy the overarching foreign policy priority of the EU.

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.

The European Climate Neutrality Observatory (ECNO) aims to help ensure the EU achieves climate neutrality by providing scientifically rigorous analysis of economy-wide progress and an independent check on EU climate policy processes.

Development of a robust methodology to establish Paris-compatible wind and solar benchmarks at the national / regional level, and calculating those benchmarks for a range of countries.

Assessing the financial requirements for a socially just power sector transition that delivers for people and the climate

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.

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

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 explores the options, solutions and barriers that are faced by ambitious climate action in mitigating GHG emissions for the agricultural sector, which includes detailed analysis of 10 countries.

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.

Differentiated analysis of collective progress and national courses of action following the Global Stocktake

The project aims to to analyse the extent to which German and EU foreign diplomacy are aligned with the European Green Deal and the PA.

An assessment of expected emissions change in the coming decade under current policies compared with emission decrease needed for the PA.

The main aim is to develop robust, evidence-based research and advocacy to help facilitate credible, transparent corporate climate action and pledges.
