Emissions Pathways are transformational process that delivers long-term emissions reductions and sustainable development in collaboration with local communities, businesses and other key actors. 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. 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.
Under the Paris Agreement, countries are invited to communicate “mid-century long-term low greenhouse gas emissions development strategies” (long-term strategies, or LTS). These strategies are central to the goal of limiting global warming to well below 2°C and to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5°C, representing a significant opportunity for countries to lay out their vision for achieving a low-carbon economy by 2050 while also pursuing sustainable development. It is advantageous for countries to align their NDCs and long-term strategies for consistency and to avoid the lock-in of carbon-intensive behavior, technologies and policies. 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.
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.
The directory helps financial sector stakeholders identify important and relevant climate-related data sources to meet their needs and facilitate access to these data. It also facilitates the identification of potential data gaps (where raw data items needed to construct a metric are not available) and creates incentives to bridge such gaps. As a living catalogue of available climate-related data sources for financial sector stakeholders, the directory is a public good. Besides, in fostering the establishment of comparable and consistent climate data, the directory can support the implementation of the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) global standards. Hence, the NGFS hopes it will be used widely by financial sector stakeholders and the public globally, as a widespread adoption will in turn allow users to feedback to NGFS on the latest data sources and sustain the relevance of the directory. They urge all interested participants to take advantage of this new tool and leverage it to effectively green the financial system.
