Climate Action Tracker
@climateactiontracker.org
We're an independent scientific project tracking government climate action, measuring it against the Paris Agreement aim of "holding warming well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C."
2035 TARGET: #SouthAfrica ’s 2035 NDC continues declining emissions trend and is below 2030 range — but ambition hasn’t increased. The 2035 target is less 1.5°C-aligned than the 2030 NDC. Coal phase-out delays and slow progress in buildings, transport & industry remain key gaps.

Norway's #EV sales are at 100% new passenger cars; its intl climate finance is at relatively high levels.
But this major producer of oil & gas hasn't committed to phase out fossil fuels. Emissions frm oil/gas exports 10x higher than domestic, not covered by climate targets.

COUNTRY ANALYSIS: #Norway combines strong climate policies at home with a fossil fuel export model that shifts much of its climate impact abroad: its new 2035 NDC is 1.5°C aligned – domestically, but the country still relies heavily on oil & gas.

2035 TARGET ANALYSIS: #Chile's new 2035 climate target is not 1.5˚C aligned according to its fair share, and the gap between its target and 1.5˚C pathways has grown compared to 2030. The 2035 emissions level would require additional action to meet.

Indonesia’s 2035 #NDC fails to raise ambition.
The unconditional target sees emissions rise for decades, peaking only in 2050. Current policies already overachieve target.
The conditional targets rely on steep post-2035 reductions that are unlikely without credible policies.

➡️ tripling renewables,
➡️ doubling efficiency and
➡️ cutting methane by 2030,
they could bring that projected warming down to 1.6˚C.

Ten years ago today, governments finalised the Paris Agreement, cementing in the 1.5˚C warming limit as a guardrail, a survial line for many countries.
Thanks to the #ParisAgreement, they have reduced projected 2100 warming by 1˚C, down to 2.6˚C from the 3-4˚C we were projecting in 2015.

The EU’s new 2035 target is far from 1.5°C aligned, our analysis shows.
To align with 1.5°C, the EU would need net reductions of at least:
• 77% below 1990 by 2035
• 90–95% by 2040
achieved domestically.

The longer we wait, the larger the "targets gap": from 2030 to 2035, the gap between climate targets and the pathways to 1.5°C is projected to grow up to two billion tonnes, up from 26-29 GtCO2e in 2030, to 26-31 GtCO2e by 2035.

The Paris Agreement works! In 2015, our current policies pathway led to 3.6°C of warming by 2100. 10 years later this has dropped by around 1°C. This framework has rewritten the rules of global climate action - sparking investment, innovation, & reforms that would simply not have happened without it
