Reducing emissions from shipping will not be easy, but continued cooperation represents progress. As @michael_petroni, CAT Analyst, explains: “While not perfect, in its current form the Net-Zero Framework is the IMO’s most ambitious emissions reductions mechanism to date.”

Last month, the International Maritime Organization (@IMOHQ) held its Environment Committee meeting, where member states agreed to preserve the Net-Zero Framework (NZF) as the central basis for negotiations on decarbonizing #InternationalShipping.

How are war and #climatechange reshaping Russia’s energy landscape? In the podcast “Energy Evolution” by S&P Global, CAT researcher Eoin Quill puts Russia’s greenhouse gas emissions into a global context. 🎧 Listen to the full episode here: spglobal.com/energy/en/news…

The revised NDC also acknowledges that the central challenge for Colombia is not the level of ambition but implementation. Our assessment confirms: current and planned policies are insufficient to meet either its 2030 or 2035 targets. 2035 NDC tab: climateactiontracker.org/countries/colo…

Colombia would need to reduce its emissions to 111 MtCO₂e, or by at least 44% below 2023 levels by 2035 (excl. LULUCF). The gap between Colombia’s NDC target and its 1.5°C compatible modelled domestic pathways has actually grown, from 12% for 2030 to 28% for 2035.

Colombia’s 2035 #ClimateTarget sends mixed signals on ambition. While the country has reaffirmed its 2030 commitment & introduced a slightly lower emissions target for 2035, the bigger picture is concerning: progress is not keeping pace with what’s needed for a 1.5°C pathway.

To align itself with a 1.5°C trajectory, Viet Nam could: 🔹Reduce dependence on fossil fuels in near term. 🔹Avoid relying on fossil gas as a “transition fuel”. 🔹More emphasis on industrial decarbonisation. Full country analysis here: climateactiontracker.org/countries/viet…

Amid the ongoing energy crisis, Viet Nam has felt the strain of rising fuel prices and supply disruptions and leaning towards more coal. These challenges highlight the need for a comprehensive strategy to reduce fossil fuel dependency and transition to renewable energy.

UN Climate Week 3 (CW3) is wrapping up & we are highlighting progress countries in the region are making on #ClimateAction. Today’s spotlight: Viet Nam. Despite lacking ambition in climate targets, momentum is building for deeper #RenewableEnergy integration & a coal phase-out.

Who’s transitioning away from fossil fuels – and who’s doubling down? Ahead of #TAFF, we look at attending countries: from standout renewable growth in Chile to continued fossil export reliance elsewhere. Read the full analysis👉 climateactiontracker.org/blog/fossil-fu…

Adoption of the NZF - or not - cld decide if shipping sector's emissions would be consistent w/ global temperature rise being held near 2°C - or allowed to drift toward 4°C under business-as-usual trajectory by 2050. All eyes on Saudi Arabia & US who blocked its passage last year

ANALYSIS: Next week's @IMOhq meeting will discuss the Net Zero Framework that, if passed, wld be a major milestone in decarbonising intl shipping, introducing a global fuel emissions standard & a market-based mechanism to reduce the sector’s emissions. 🔗 climateactiontracker.org/blog/rescuing-…

To align itself with a 1.5°C trajectory, South Korea could: 🔹Prioritise domestic emissions reductions. 🔹Strengthen the ambition and implementation of its NDC target. 🔹Accelerate the early retirement of coal power plants through public & private finance. climateactiontracker.org/countries/sout…

Following President Lee Jae-myung’s election, the country committed to a 2040 coal phase-out, a notable step but still too slow for 1.5°C alignment & undermined by increased LNG use. Its 2035 NDC falls short of 1.5°C pathways and lacks clarity on the use of intl. carbon credits.

UN Climate Week 3 (CW3) is well underway in Yeosu, South Korea, and we are highlighting the progress countries in the region are making on #ClimateAction. Today’s spotlight: South Korea 🇰🇷 Its climate policy continues to evolve with changes in political leadership.

To strengthen climate action, Indonesia could: 🔹Create an enabling environment for the energy transition. 🔹Strengthen forest protection and governance. 🔹Align energy transition with environmental and social safeguards. Full country analysis here: bit.ly/CAT_IDN

The Republic of Indonesia has made limited progress in transitioning to a low-carbon economy, with little meaningful change across critical sectors. Power generation and industry remain heavily reliant on coal, while land-use emissions persist due to deforestation.

Tomorrow, UN Climate Week 3 (CW3) kicks off in Yeosu, South Korea, and we are highlighting the progress on #ClimateAction of countries in the region. Today’s spotlight: Indonesia 🇮🇩
