Faster action on this decade is essential for limiting near term warming.

Our new report assesses emissions, targets, and policies for 72 countries that account for over 90% of global methane emissions.

It finds 81% of countries in our study include methane in their NDCs, but only 16% have adopted methane reduction targets.

You can explore national methane emissions, targets, and policies in our Global Methane Explorer: https://methane-explorer.climateanalytics.org/

Labelling heavy industry like steel as “hard-to-abate” allows them to argue against reducing emissions now, or to justify using carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCS) or offsets to meet climate goals.

But existing tech and demand reduction can cut emissions in these sectors, writes our CEO Bill Hare on Climate Home News

Is "hard-to-abate" really that hard - or is it a justification for delay? Labelling heavy industry like steel as "hard-to-abate" has shaped policy and business action in ways that risk undermining global efforts to cut emissions

New data from the latest Greenhouse Gas Bulletin is "alarming and worrying" our CEO Bill Hare told AP News.

“This is a very clear warning sign that the world is heading into an extremely dangerous state – and this is driven by the continued expansion of fossil fuel development, globally.”

UN agency says C02 levels hit record high last year, causing more extreme weather The United Nations weather agency reports that carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere reached record highs last year, intensifying climate change and extreme weather.

🚨 NEW Brief: stronger 2030 targets AND 1.5-aligned 2035 NDCs needed to keep 1.5°C alive

We show that without both, we face the prospect of prolonged overshoot of the warming limit that could trigger dangerous, irreversible climate tipping points.

Why stronger 2030 targets along with 1.5°C-aligned 2035 targets are… Both stronger 2030 targets and 1.5°C-aligned 2035 NDCs are needed to keep 1.5°C alive, argues this briefing. Without both, we risk overshooting the 1.5°C limit higher and longer, crossing dangerous tipping points, and losing sight of the Paris Agreement goals.

📌 What to expect:
• Keynote by Dr Piers Forster on the latest climate science
• Video address from Bill Hare, CEO, Climate Analytics
• Panel with Dr Jimmy Fletcher, CARICOM Climate Envoy; Dr Bernd Hackmann, Team Lead, Mitigation Division, UNFCCC; and Dr Simona Marinescu, UN Senior Advisor for the Antigua and Barbuda Agenda for SIDS 2024-2034.

We’ll discuss how the ICJ’s advisory opinion could shape politics and finance, the support vulnerable states need now, and how to align global action with the Paris Agreement’s goals.

Germany is straying from its decarbonisation path.

Renewable energy expansion is not matching stated targets and planned gas capacity expansion risks locking in emissions.
