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."
While our rating system doesn't consider exported emissions, there's a fundamental imbalance between Norway’s domestic climate leadership + fossil fuel expansion. For a country w Norway’s wealth and capacity, its rating points to the need for greater ambition to align with global climate goals.

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.

While more is needed, this sets a pathway towards transitioning to clean energy systems that deliver emissions reductions and socioeconomic benefits, including job creation and reduced reliance on fossil fuel imports.

Chile's new climate pledge contains several positive elements:
* it maintains its commitment to peak emissions by 2025,
* re-commits to a coal phase-out by 2040
* sets out an absolute national 2031-35 emissions budget enshrined into law...

Indonesia backloads >70% of renewables beyond 2030 & frontloads 13 GW of fossil capacity by 2029. An 8% GDP growth target risks high-carbon lock-in w/out robust safeguards, increasing reliance on the FOLU Net Sink 2030, now under pressure fm food estate & bioenergy expansion

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.

While action has stalled over the past four years, if governments carried out their promises made at COP28 in just three areas:
➡️ tripling renewables,
➡️ doubling efficiency and
➡️ cutting methane by 2030,
they could bring that projected warming down to 1.6˚C.

➡️ The #EU would need to see a steep acceleration in renewable energy, which would double the share of renewables in electricity generation.
An increase in economy-wide electrification rate would drive huge energy savings.

To give a flavour of our G20 country factsheets in the report:

➡️ #China alone delivering on the global energy and methane goals could reduce emissions by 44% below current policies by 2035, esp by expanding renewables, and increasing electrification.
November 21, 2025 at 3:16 PM
#Methane emissions continue to rise. Efforts by G20 countries alone would yield a reduction of 76 MtCH4 in 2030 and 85 MtCH4 in 2035, or 2 GtCO2e and 2 GtCO2e, respectively, compared to emissions levels under current policies and actions.
November 21, 2025 at 3:16 PM
Energy efficiency is recognised as one of the fastest, most cost-effective strategies for reducing emissions while supporting economic growth and energy security.
G20 has been improving slowly at about -1.8% a year.
The majority of reduction (40-50%) would come from electrifying the demand sector.
November 21, 2025 at 3:16 PM
Tripling #renewables in G20 would imply:
▪️ reaching a total of 10–11 TW in 2030
▪️ solar and wind power would grow from 3.2 PWh to over 16 PWh by 2030
China, the US, EU, India, Japan and Brazil account for the majority of current capacity and will be decisive in achieving that global goal.
November 21, 2025 at 3:16 PM
If individual G20 countries were to implement the COP28 goals, they would deliver total emissions reductions of around 11 GtCO2e by 2030 and 14 GtCO2e by 2035, compared to current policy projections.

These actions would help fulfil another #GST goal: to begin the transition away from fossil fuels.
But can governments bring themselves to resist pressure from the fossil fuel industry?
And will richer countries agree to accelerate financial support for countries that need it?

The current warming rate is set to accelerate by 2030 then only slowly decline.
Halving the warming rate by 2040 wld bring significant benefits for #adaptation planning; address the adaptation gap.
The more we can slow this warming rate, the better for vulnerable communities the world over.
November 19, 2025 at 1:21 PM
Now we need to see them implement these agreed goals to address #climate change.
➡️ there must be finance especially for poorer countries
➡️ And if they also worked to end deforestation the result would be even bigger.
November 19, 2025 at 1:21 PM
Here at #COP30 the mantra is to move from negotiation to implementation – but in 2023 at COP28 governments negotiated and agreed at Global Stocktake, these three goals.

The EU is drifting further from climate leadership and a 1.5°C-compatible path.
