Climate Analytics

Climate Analytics is a leading scientific organization dedicated to accelerating climate action and keeping global warming below 1.5°C, as defined in the Paris Agreement. The organization produces cutting-edge research, policy analysis, and scientific assessments to support evidence-based decision-making in climate policy. Their work spans various critical areas, including emissions reduction targets, climate impact assessments, and sector-specific decarbonisation strategies. Climate Analytics also develops interactive tools to help visualize climate change impacts and solutions. The organization is known for its involvement in high-profile projects such as the Climate Action Tracker, which independently assesses countries’ emission commitments and actions. Through their research, publications, and support for climate-vulnerable countries, Climate Analytics plays a crucial role in advancing global understanding of climate change and promoting ambitious climate action.

Climate Action Tracker

The Climate Action Tracker (CAT) is an independent scientific tool that assesses government climate action against Paris Agreement goals. Developed by Climate Analytics and NewClimate Institute, it evaluates climate pledges and policies of 32 countries, representing about 80% of global emissions. The CAT provides up-to-date analysis of national commitments, implemented policies, and fair share contributions, offering insights into global progress towards limiting warming to well below 2°C and pursuing 1.5°C

The CO2 emissions follow-up is also carried out by sectors, including International Aviation. Below is shown the status as of October 2024, labelled as Critically Insufficient.
