🇯🇵 Japan has ignored thousands of calls to boost its climate ambition.

350 Japan's Masayoshi Iyoda says this shows how the government has ultimately bowed to fossil fuel interests.

Japan disregarded calls to raise its 2035 emissions goal
The public calls for more ambition - but Japan said inputs had not changed its view that a 60% cut is enough for the 2035 emissions goal

The science is clear: to halt the climate crisis we need to stop burning fossil fuels. That means our energy system needs to change. But lots of people don’t know what the energy “transition” looks like. Our Solutions Series aims to shed some light on this. Today in our first instalment: Wind power.

It’s no surprise that many countries have missed the deadline. Whilst we would rather they took the time to get them right, rich countries need to commit to ambitious plans around climate & renewable energy well before this year’s UN climate summit, COP30.

Singapore 🇸🇬& Marshall Islands 🇲🇭just published their new #climate targets.

Two small islands states with vastly different ambition.
Kudos to the Marshall Islands for once again leading, Singapore must do better.

What's in their goals?

Today, February 10, marks the initial submission deadline for countries to deliver their updated national climate plans (NDCs), including fresh 2035 emissions reduction targets.

And it’s no surprise—most are late.

Nations accounting for 16% of global emissions have submitted plans so far👇

Next week, nation-level climate plans are due to be submitted to the UN. As usual, most countries will be late.

In general, we'd rather them be late than rush out a flimsy plan. But if you'd like more info on who's stepping up vs. not at all, we've got that for you here: 350.org/ndc-deadline/

Global heating, caused by excess CO2 being released into the atmosphere, increases the frequency and severity of wildfires.

The CO2 emitted by wildfires causes a huge increase in global heating.
