Germany has both the opportunity and the obligation to reverse recent climate policy rollbacks in its Climate Action Plan next week. Read our full reaction ➡️ climateactiontracker.org/press/reaction…

We are concerned about recent policy decisions which entail growing support for fossil gas. If Germany is to remain credible on #ClimateLeadership and aligned with its long-term goals, it must urgently course-correct and accelerate the transition.

Germany’s latest emissions projections raise serious concerns about the country’s climate trajectory. The findings suggest that the #EnergyTransition is slowing down, with Germany moving further away from its legally binding targets. 🔗 climateactiontracker.org/press/reaction…

We also have serious concerns about the use of carbon dioxide removal, which should complement deep emissions cuts rather than replacing them- and the planned use of #CCS, which cld extend the life of fossil fuels. 🔗 climateactiontracker.org/press/response…

We see gaps when it comes to clarity and ambition around the land use sector and the trajectory after 2030.

If #EU wants a chance of reaching net zero emissions by 2050 and staying on track with the 1.5°C limit, it needs to ramp up ambition: it needs to at least ensure its 2040 target of 90% net reductions is reached domestically & ideally increase it to 95% 🔗 climateactiontracker.org/press/response…

China released its 15th Five-Year Plan (FYP). The plan reinforces the rapid expansion of clean energy, but it does not translate this momentum into stronger binding emissions targets. Read our full reaction here 🔗 climateactiontracker.org/press/reaction…

* Exclude fossil gas from clean energy classification * work towards just transition to renewable energy and away from fossil fuels Full analysis 🔗 bit.ly/CAT_MEX

Mexico could: * Back up new 2035 climate targets w/ sectoral policies * Back its new 2050 net zero target by updating its Long-Term Strategy (LTS) to align with new commitment, and enshrine target into law

COUNTRY ANALYSIS: Mexico's new President Claudia Sheinbaum, while adopting 2035 target that cld see emissions peak & decline, has thrown her weight behind increasing fossil fuel production, w/ limited focus on renwable energy. Rating: Highly Insufficient🔗 bit.ly/CAT_MEX

2035 TARGET: #SouthAfrica ’s 2035 NDC continues declining emissions trends — but ambition hasn’t increased. The 2035 target is less 1.5°C-aligned than 2030 NDC. Coal phase-out delays & slow progress in buildings, transport & industry remain key gaps 🔗 bit.ly/490Nrgt

While our ratings don't consider exported emissions, there's a fundamental imbalance between Norway’s domestic climate leadership + fossil fuel expansion. With Norway’s wealth and capacity, its rating points to the need for greater ambition to align w global climate goals.

Norway's #EV sales are at 100% new passenger cars; its intl climate finance at relatively high levels. But this major producer of oil & gas hasn't committed to phase out fossil fuels. Emissions fm oil/gas exports 10x higher than domestic. bit.ly/CAT_NOR_polici…

COUNTRY ANALYSIS: #Norway combines strong climate policies at home w a fossil fuel export model that shifts much of its climate impact abroad: its new 2035 NDC is 1.5°C aligned – domestically, but it still relies heavily on oil & gas. Rated: "Insufficient"

While more is needed, this sets a pathway towards transitioning to clean energy systems that deliver emissions reductions and socioeconomic benefits, including job creation and reduced reliance on fossil fuel imports.

Chile's new climate pledge contains several positive elements: * it maintains its commitment to peak emissions by 2025, * re-commits to a coal phase-out by 2040 * sets out an absolute national 2031-35 emissions budget enshrined into law...

2035 TARGET ANALYSIS: #Chile's new 2035 climate target is not 1.5˚C aligned according to its fair share, and the gap between its target and 1.5˚C pathways has grown compared to 2030. The 2035 emissions level would require additional action to meet. bit.ly/CAT_CHI_2035
