Nearly 200 countries pledged to limit global warming to 1.5 °C under the Paris Agreement, a milestone that set a new benchmark for international climate action.
The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015, aims to keep the rise in global temperatures well below 2 °C, with efforts to pursue 1.5 °C as a target to reduce the most catastrophic impacts of climate change.
Over the past decade, governments have been expected to deliver on this commitment through national climate plans, emissions reductions, and policy reforms.
This article examines which countries have met or exceeded the expectations set out in the agreement and which have fallen short, highlighting the gaps between ambition and action.
By analysing the latest data and reports, we aim to provide a clear picture of the world’s progress on its climate promises and the challenges that remain.
