The Climate Action Tracker has found many nations are unlikely to meet their pledges to bring their emissions in line with the Paris Agreement aim of keeping global warming well below 2C.
The independent scientific analysis rated the majority of countries' policies as either"insufficient","highly insufficient" or"critically insufficient". The UK's policies were deemed"almost sufficient".in Glasgow, Sky News looks at how countries rank for CO2 emissions, what they have pledged to do , and how much of a change they will have to make to meet their own targets.
The president has set his government a goal of achieving net zero by 2050 and has directed his agencies and departments to enact climate-friendly policies and review the climate rollbacks of the previous four years. Similarly, while China's President Xi Jinping announced the country would strictly control coal generation until 2025 and then begin phasing it out, China's current policies are considered insufficient to meet the Paris agreement's 1.5C limit and more consistent with 3C global warming.
India's current targets and policies put it on course for 4C or more of warming, but the CAT says if it phases out old high-capacity power plants with lower efficiency and higher emissions and stopped any new coal additions, it could push itself towards 1.5C emissions.The EU has strengthened its emissions reductions goal under the Paris Agreement with a"Green Deal" which pledges net zero emissions by 2050.
