New research from @WRIClimate compares the U.S.'s 2030 & 2035 targets to key climate benchmarks. As the largest historical greenhouse gas emitter and a wealthy nation with high per capita emissions, the U.S. must go further—cutting emissions deeper and providing additional finance to slash emission beyond its borders.    Explore the full analysis: bit.ly/4jMU6yK

As demand for transportation rises, so do GHG emissions 🚗 Clea Schumer, @WorldResources, discusses the need to transform the #transport sector. #NDCs due in 2025 can include targets for a U-turn in energy use by this crucial sector. Learn more: bit.ly/3TTAZIB

Nesting sector-specific targets under economywide GHG emissions reduction targets can help #NDCs spur immediate climate action. For @CA_Latest @newclimateinst & @WRIClimate we show what's needed across sectors by 2030 & 2035 to limit warming to 1.5°C. wri.org/insights/climate-act…

By the Numbers: The Climate Action We Need This Decade

Limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees C is essential for avoiding the worst climate change impacts, but doing so requires cutting emissions 42% by 2030 and 56% by 2035. Current policies...

📅 By 2025, countries must submit stronger #NDCs to meet climate goals. Hear from @SophieBoehm, Senior Research Associate at #SystemsChangeLab, on how sectoral targets can help nations unlock the path to 1.5°C. 🌡️ Watch the video & explore more: bit.ly/4dIJT2J

New analysis from our #StateofClimateAction 2023 report finds that we have largely failed to mobilize climate action at anywhere near the pace & scale required to limit warming to 1.5°C. The good news is we can get on track! See what's needed this decade: wri.org/insights/climate-act…

Out now! 🚨 The latest #StateOfClimateAction 2023 report shows global efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C are failing across the board, with recent progress made on every indicator — except EVs — lagging significantly behind the pace and scale necessary. bit.ly/CAT_SoCA23

5 Countries Taking Action to Reach Net-Zero Targets

More than 90 countries have set net-zero emissions targets, but questions remain about whether these climate change pledges will be met.

Current climate policies get us to ~2.7°C warming, higher-confidence net-zero targets to ~2.4°C, missing the 1.5°C global climate goal by a long way. Time to go from pledges to action! Important analysis by @JoeriRogelj carbonbrief.org/guest-post-w…

Reaching key climate targets will require legally binding and well-planned #NetZero policies. So how do current targets stack up? In a new @ScienceMagazine paper, authors including WRI’s @tarynfransen and @schumerclea explain:

There's been a proliferation of net-zero plans from countries. Most of them aren't credible, because they aren't detailed enough and not set in policy. The least credible plans? Australia, Brazil, India, Indonesia, South Africa and UAE. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Most Nations Aiming for Net-Zero Fail to Meet Targets, Study Shows

The gap between government promises and what’s actually being done to eliminate emissions puts the world at risk of catastrophic warming.

They said it. The @IPCC_CH said it. They put fossil fuels front & center in their "Headline Statements," & said, flat out, that "projected CO2 emissions from existing fossil fuel infrastructure without additional abatement would exceed the remaining carbon budget for 1.5°C." 💥

Highlighted by the @IPCC_CH, we are close to losing the window in which we can effectively limit warming to 1.5°C. Fortunately, we already have multiple solutions within our grasp. Through @WRIClimate, explore the 10 key findings of the latest #IPCC #AR6 Synthesis Report⤵️

BREAKING: The @IPCC_CH's latest report is both a blistering condemnation of major emitters’ inaction and a sound blueprint for a much safer and more equitable world. The shifts needed may seem daunting, but the case for action could not be more clear: bit.ly/3JxVzrQ 🧵
