Every five years nations must evaluate their progress towards the goals of the Paris Agreement. But this “stocktake” lacks detail making it difficult to measure progress on climate action.
A year out from the postponed 26th UN conference, the UK held an online meeting to drum up goodwill for climate action.
Done right, offsetting projects can benefit local people and make a measurable difference to carbon emissions.
Our new study shows that cutting emissions now will bring benefits sooner than expected.
New Zealand is one of few countries to enshrine a zero-carbon goal in law, but current climate policies don’t keep up with that ambition.
Under the Paris Agreement, countries have registered plans to meet emissions reductions, but the current pledges, if fully realised, would take us to 2°C by the 2050s.
