Under the Paris Agreement, nearly every nation made a commitment to tackle climate change and strengthen their efforts over time. To explore the content of these Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), search for key terms. Also, this dataset allows you to analyze and compare NDCs using over 150 structured indicators. Parties (representing 171 countries) have submitted their new or updated NDCs. This dataset is published via Climate Watch, a free online platform designed to empower policymakers, researchers, media and other stakeholders with the open climate data, visualizations and resources they need to gather insights on national and global progress on climate change. All the inventories on Climate Watch are based on this production-based accounting.

Identify potential alignment between the targets, actions, policy measures, and needs in countries' Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) targets. The analysis covers NDCs submitted prior to May 2021. This dataset is published via Climate Watch, a free online platform designed to empower policymakers, researchers, media, and other stakeholders with the open climate data, visualizations, and resources they need to gather insights on national and global progress on climate change. All the inventories on Climate Watch are based on this production-based accounting.

To avoid the worst climate impacts, global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions must be slashed in half during the next decade and reach net-zero early in the second half of the century. Given this need, a growing number of Parties to the Paris Agreement are adopting net-zero emissions targets. This dataset contains the net-zero targets that have been communicated in a Party’s nationally determined contribution (NDC), long-term low GHG emissions development strategy (LTS), domestic law, policy, or high-level political pledge such as head of state commitment. The Paris Agreement requires participating countries to submit emission inventories that are based on activities within their territory. All the inventories on Climate Watch are based on this production-based accounting.
