To guide efforts in ensuring that countries are on track to achieve the climate goal of the Paris Agreement, we evaluate the progress of 25 major emitters towards their climate change mitigation targets every year together with PBL Planbureau voor de Leefomgeving and International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA). What we found in our 2024 update: ↘ GHG emissions of the 25 countries assessed may peak before 2025 – if existing policies are implemented effectively ⚡ Faster renewable uptake and additional policies result in emissions projections being 5% lower than estimated in 2023 ❌ No country has updated its NDC since last year's report, but several are well-positioned to increase the ambition of their 2030 targets. Given the urgency of the climate crisis, each country has a critical role to play to help close the global ambition gap.

With the Science Based Targets initiative and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol)'s revisions in full swing, many actors are trying to inform and influence these processes, and renewable electricity accounting appears to be one of the most relevant and most contested issues. In our latest Q&A briefing – with ECOS, Beyond Fossil Fuels, Carbon Market Watch, Stand.earth and Action Speaks Louder - we shed light on why 24/7 renewable electricity matching is a far more credible approach for the GHG Protocol and the SBTi than the Emissions First Partnership proposal. ⚡ 24/7 matching is a credible solution to support the electricity transition: Hourly matching provides an important demand signal for additional and novel renewable energy generation and storage technologies, required to completely decarbonise power systems. ⚠ The Emissions First Partnership is a repackaging of the offsetting model: Our briefing explains why the EFP proposals to loosen current accounting rules would legitimise loopholes and let major companies off the hook for tackling challenging yet key emission sources, distracting and delaying from real climate action. ☁ The trivialised notion that this is a choice between focusing on clean or dirty grids is not an accurate reflection of the situation or the challenges of the energy transition: the largest electricity consumers need to take responsibility to cooperate and overcome the significant challenges to decarbonising the grids that they use Read the full Q&A 🔗 https://lnkd.in/exkRdvWz #REC #Scope2 #Scope3 #Decarbonisation #HourlyMatching

#hiring news! Net Zero Tracker is looking for a Data Lead. If you are curious about the role reach out to our colleagues at Oxford Net Zero and maybe we'll see you in the project soon.💡 ⤵
👉 New job alert! The Net Zero Tracker is recruiting for a Data Lead. This is an exciting opportunity to be at the heart of the project providing crucial data for assessing net zero commitments around the world. The Net Zero Tracker is built on the dedicated and organised effort of over 200 volunteer coders. As well as the data being available on an open-source and real-time basis on the website, the Tracker team publishes in-depth analysis throughout the year and annual stocktake reports.

We have just published our response to the VCMI's consultation on its proposed Scope 3 Claim. Read our full response here 🔗 https://lnkd.in/e6rEJQ7n We urge VCMI to abandon its proposal for flexibility mechanisms. This is not aligned with and may undermine the promising improvements expected in the SBTi's Corporate Net Zero Standard. Carbon credits should not be used as a flexibility mechanism to suggest that companies are on track to meet their targets, nor as adequate compensation for falling short of those targets. Instead, we urge similar initiatives to focus on strengthening the case for corporates to channel more finance as "contributions" to climate action, unrelated to their own targets. More information on climate contributions can be found in our guide 📖 https://lnkd.in/eZjRhkt2 #Scope3 #carbonmarkets #carboncredits #offsetting
Amid growing controversy over potentially loosening rules for offsetting corporate emissions, the VCMI has launched a consultation for a second proposal of its contentious Scope 3 Claim. VCMI proposes that companies should be able to make extensive use of carbon credits up until 2038 to address the “emissions gap” between their target trajectories and their actual emissions. This would result in weakening the system of accountability for corporate climate action, as we show in our reaction blog ( 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eSiRaRvw), because: ⚠ Problem 1: Backsliding of ambition The VCMI proposal risks further undermining already insufficient levels of corporate climate ambition. ⚠ Problem 2: Distract from and delay short-term action The proposal could enable companies with ambitious-sounding targets to delay meaningful immediate emissions reductions, allowing them to continue increasing their emissions in the short term. ⚠ Problem 3: Undermining efforts of front-runners The proposal could disadvantage ambitious companies with genuine climate strategies by allowing laggard competitors to exaggerate their own efforts. We urge VCMI to abandon the proposal of flexibility mechanisms that are not aligned with — and may even undermine — the promising improvements expected in the Science Based Targets initiative’s Corporate Net Zero Standard. Carbon credits should not be used as a flexibility mechanism to suggest that companies are on track to meet their targets, nor as adequate compensation for falling short of those targets.

Despite substantial progress in renewble energy capacity, India is rated "highly insufficient" according to the analysis by Climate Action Tracker. All details ⤵
COUNTRY ANALYSIS: #India is seeing a rapid rise in energy demand from both GDP growth (essential for a developing economy) & demand for cooling amid heatwaves. Despite substantial renewable energy capacity progress, energy demand isn’t decoupling from emissions. * #coal production & imports hit record high first half of 2024 in another year of record summer heat, despite renewables + storage is becoming cost-effective compared to fossil fuels. * Coal power expansion not 1.5˚C aligned. * Non-fossil energy sources account for 46% of India's total installed capacity: this indicates the country is well on track to achieve its conditional NDC target of 50% non-fossil capacity ahead of schedule. * This progress suggests India could set a more ambitious NDC target with international support.

With the year's most important climate talks around the corner, Climate Action Tracker has published an analysis of Azerbaijan's climate action, the host of the UN's COP29. Based on the country's overall climate targets and policies, Azerbaijan is rated "critically insufficient" — far from consistent with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C temperature limit. All details ⤵
We've done a special report on #COP29 host Azerbaijan's #climate action. The results are not good: after it weakened its #NDC by removing its 2030 #climate target altogether, & pledged to increase fossil fuel production (& with it, methane), we rate AZE's climate action as "Critically Insufficient" Full report here ==> bit.ly/CAT_AZE_special
