With the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, 197 countries agreed to set emission targets that would limit global temperature rise 1.5 degrees Celsius by capping greenhouse emissions at "net-zero" -- or absorbing as much carbon as they emit -- by 2050. So far, only two countries (Gambia and Morocco) are hitting their targets, while the biggest emitters are falling flat, or ignoring their goals entirely. How can we hold these countries accountable? Enter the Climate Action Tracker. (Updated September 2020)

Climate Action Tracker: The state of the climate crisis	in 2020

The state of the climate crisis	in 2020

By 2050, achieving net zero emissions is crucial to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees, yet the current trajectory falls short.

Gambia and Morocco lead by example in the climate action race, setting benchmarks the rest of the world struggles to meet.

China's balancing act: leading in both renewable energy and coal power highlights the complex road to global emission reduction.
