Are nations actually meeting the targets set by the Paris Agreement?
In short: While 197 countries pledged to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, the reality of their progress is stark. This video examines the Climate Action Tracker's assessment of global emission goals and the struggle for accountability.
Under the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, nations committed to reaching 'net-zero' emissions by 2050 to prevent temperature rises exceeding 1.5 degrees Celsius. However, the Climate Action Tracker reveals a significant gap in implementation: currently, only Gambia and Morocco are meeting their established targets, while the world's largest emitters are either failing to meet goals or ignoring them entirely.
The video explores how the Climate Action Tracker serves as a tool for accountability, offering a roadmap to help the world avoid irreversible climate impacts and protect biodiversity and food security.
