Wonderful turnout for our #ClimateWeekNYC event last night featuring a keynote by Dr Piers Forster on the latest climate science and a panel discussion on how the ICJ opinion can shape politics and how to align global action with 1.5°C. Missed the event? Watch the recording:

As governments announce new NDCs today, our brief shows that sustained action over the coming decade can keep warming close to 1.5°C and return us below it this century. To guide this action, we need to see strong targets for both 2030 and 2035. #UNGA #ClimateWeekNYC #NDC

Today at the #UNClimateSummit, we expect world leaders to step up, share their new plans and demonstrate their commitment to #ClimateAction. We'll be following the new #NDCs closely. Stay tuned and keep an eye on our Climate Target Update Tracker! ➡️ climateactiontracker.org/climate-targ...

"In the case of China, when they come up with a target, it's something that they are really committed to," said senior analyst Sofia Gonzales-Zuniga. Even if it's not the most ambitious "we can have a certain level of trust that they will reach what they are promising." www.dw.com/en/ndcs-ahea...

🚨 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.

Dr Piers Forster brings us up to speed in his keynote on the science of 1.5C, and reminds us all of the importance of listening to scientists. Join us online now for the panel discussion: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wse8...

Today’s the day! With global temperatures now brushing dangerously close to the 1.5°C limit, our event Holding the Line: 1.5°C, Overshoot, and the Urgency of Now at #NYCW asks what will it take to keep 1.5°C alive. Watch the livestream at 15:00 ET (21:00 CEST) 🔗 www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5N3...

The 2025 #ProductionGap Report finds that 10 years after the Paris Agreement, governments plan to produce more than double (120%) the volume of fossil fuels in 2030 than would be consistent with limiting global warming to 1.5°C. productiongap.org/2025-press/

The Trump Administration is pursuing an agenda to systematically repeal federal climate targets, policies, funding for mitigation, blocking progressive actors, while encouraging the production and consumption of fossil fuels at home and abroad. Our PR 🔗 climateactiontracker.org/press/releas...

COUNTRY ANALYSIS: We have downgraded the #US climate action to "Critically insufficient" - it's the most aggressive, comprehensive and consequential climate policy rollback the CAT has ever analysed. 🔗 bit.ly/CAT_US

"Ten years after Paris, renewables are way out in front of the pack. Instead of getting in the race, governments are blundering backwards towards our fossil past," says @neilgrant.bsky.social.

🚨 BREAKING: Governments plan to produce over 2x the amount of fossil fuels in 2030 than would be consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C, says the new #ProductionGap Report. Read the report here: productiongap.org 🧵 youtu.be/k7PkESU_1r4

NEW #ProductionGap report out today! @neilgrant.bsky.social told @theguardian.com “So far, renewable energy growth has been an addition alongside fossil fuel demand, and we haven’t seen peak demand. But given the pace of change in the energy system that could change quite significantly."

We can't help but agree with you Andrew. Bill nailed this interview!

Australia's new and unambitious 2035 #climate target is "baffling" considering the climate risk assessment released earlier this week, says @billhare.bsky.social This graphic shows level of warming if all countries were to take similar action. Full press release here bit.ly/CA_Aus2035_t...

A new @nature.com study by @ethz.ch with IIASA, @climateanalytics.org, @ox.ac.uk & partners traces today’s extreme heat back to fossil fuel & cement industry emissions. 😶‍🌫️ 180 producers = ~60% of CO₂ since 1850 ⚖️ Companies, not just nations, must be held accountable. 🔗 iiasa.ac.at/news/sep-202...

China’s rapid build-out of renewables and electrification drive could see its emissions peak — a milestone that may signal a global peak in emissions is on the horizon.

Leaked text shows EU states haven't nailed down greenhouse gas emission targets just weeks before UN deadline. Climate Policy Analyst Michael Petroni told @theguardian.com the approach outlined in the leaked text "delays critical near-term action, at a time when global leadership is most needed.”

As the Australian government decides its new #climate targets, we've modelled 1.5°C compatible targets for both 2030 and 2035 that are credible and achievable, especially for a country wanting to host the COP31 climate talks next year. #auspol2025 #auspol 🧵 bit.ly/CA_Aus2035

Raging EU wildfires show the limits of relying on forests for climate targets. With over 1M hectares lost this year, governments must reassess the land sector’s true contribution to climate goals. www.climatechangenews.com/2025/08/26/e...

Cement is a major #climate challenge, generating 5-8% of global emissions. China produces more than half the world’s cement: contributing 13-15% of the nation's CO2 emissions. In this report, we take a deep dive into how China can decarbonise this sector bit.ly/CA_China_cem...

Our senior scientist @fahadsaeed.bsky.social explains why Pakistan and India have experiences so many massive, sudden downpours this monsoon season: a combination of the warm monsoon system in the northern Pakistan mountains meeting colder air coming from the west. www.reuters.com/sustainabili...

Our Senior Scientist @fahadiii.bsky.social speaks to BBC News about how the fatal floods in Pakistan were made 15% more intense due to climate change. "If you consider that Pakistan's role in total emissions is less than 1%, it's a big case of climate injustice," he says @wwattribution.bsky.social

Germany is straying from its decarbonisation path. Renewable energy expansion is not matching stated targets and planned gas capacity expansion risks locking in emissions. Explore how Germany could get back on track to 1.5°C 👇 UPDATED TODAY: 1p5ndc-pathways.climateanalytics.org/countries/ge...

Amid the horrific news on the bleaching of Western Australia's iconic Ningaloo reef in a massive, #climate driven marine heatwave, we've published 1.5˚C aligned 2030 & 2035 targets for WA, the only Australian state without such targets. #auspol 🧵 climateanalytics.org/publications...

"The 2022 floods highlighted Pakistan's vulnerability to climate change. Three years later, monsoon floods are still claiming shocking human losses," says @fahadsaeed.bsky.social.

New study from @wwattribution.bsky.social highlights that a prolonged heat wave in Pakistan and neighbouring countries caused “the atmosphere to draw in more moisture and amplify rainfall when the monsoon system arrived,” @fahadsaeed.bsky.social told @mongabay.com. news.mongabay.com/short-articl...

Unless greenhouse gas emissions are reduced quickly, global warming could breach the Paris Agreement 1.5°C limit by 2030. Why is this such a concern? What are the risks of overshooting 1.5°C? What can we do? Read our briefing on the latest science to find out. climateanalytics.org/publications...

New research from @wwattribution.bsky.social and ‪@fahadiii.bsky.social‬ shows that climate change made Pakistan’s deadly monsoon floods ~15% heavier. Flooding killed at least 300 people. Events like these underscore the danger of overshooting 1.5°C. www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan...

If countries fail to come forward with targets aligned to the 1.5°C limit in new NDCs due this year, the #ICJ advisory opinion makes clear that they could face legal repercussions under customary international law.

How do you assess climate loss and damage that defies monetary valuation - like the loss of cultural heritage? Our new @iki-germany.bsky.social project in the Pacific led by SPREP combines modelling and domestic knowledge to try and answer these difficult questions and plan for the future.

The #ICJ opinion calls for ambitious climate plans. The third round of Nationally Determined Contributions are due this year. The #AdvisoryOpinion is a powerful reminder that countries must put forth ambitious, 1.5°C-aligned NDCs.

The International Court of Justice #ICJ found that 1.5°C is the ‘primary goal’ under the Paris Agreement and countries must act on climate with the 'highest ambition' to meet this. Statement from @billhare.bsky.social explains what this means for #climateaction 👇

"Any investment in new fossil fuels now is a fool’s gamble, while joining the race to renewables can only bring benefits – not just jobs and cheaper energy at stable prices, but energy independence and access where it’s needed most", says @billhare.bsky.social on @theguardian.com.

Today, #UNSG António Guterres said we’re entering a new era – a clean energy age. But with governments still backing fossil fuels, can the success of renewables shift the needle on 1.5°C? Let’s dive in 🧵👇 www.un.org/en/climatech...

Migration visas for Tuvalu citizens at risk of #sealevelrise "are the repercussion of our failure to meet the Paris Agreement's targets," @rosemartyr.bsky.social told the BBC. To protect the land, cultural sites and ecosystems "the best solution we have is to reduce our emissions now".

Extreme climate impacts are everywhere and will only get worse unless peak warming is kept as close to 1.5°C as possible. Read our brief on the latest science of the 1.5°C limit, including the present level of global warming and current climate impacts.
