Nationally determined contributions under the Paris Agreement.
This report provides insights based on new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) submitted by Parties to the Paris Agreement and recorded between 1 January 2024 and 30 September 2025, covering approximately 30% of total global emissions in 2019. It is not possible to draw far-reaching conclusions from this dataset, but the report highlights key lessons about […]
Global energy outlook.
The Report covers the energy system and includes exploratory scenarios and policy paths to achieve energy and emissions targets. It is published against a backdrop of changing energy policies and markets, and tensions, as governments are coming to different conclusions about how best to address energy sustainability concerns, and the Report provides a perspective on […]
Emissions Gap Report 2025
The Report shows that the new Nationally Determined Contributions have a limited effect on reducing emissions, leaving warming projections well above the Paris Agreement target. The new scenarios show that limiting warming to 1.5°C is still possible, but due to the continued delay in reductions, trajectories of 1.5°C now imply a greater temporal exceedance of […]
EU Mission: Adaptation to Climate Change

Scaling up transition funding
The actions of the world’s most emissions-intensive sectors, companies and countries are crucial. However, investments that could lead to significant reductions in their environmental impact often do not receive financial support. This is where transition finance comes in: it can help high-emission countries, companies and sectors gradually transition to sustainable practices aligned with climate goals.
Emission Factor Package: Database Documentation
The Emission Factor Pack database includes an estimate of an overall factor covering total emissions per kWh of electricity generation, an adjustment that takes into account the impact of emissions from electricity trading between countries, the total upstream emissions intensity associated with domestic electricity generation, and relevant adjustments associated with electricity transmission and distribution losses […]
Methane matters
Although more than 150 countries have committed to a 30% absolute reduction in methane emissions by 2030, methane emissions are rising. This report first calculates the methane footprint and analyzes the reduction targets and plans of 52 of the world’s largest meat, dairy and rice companies, which account for 12% of total agricultural methane emissions, […]
