Editor's Notes
- WRI is a global think tank, and one thing that WRI does is to work on Data. We are leading the Climate Watch platform that focuses on everything related to Climate Change commitments, and GHG emissions, but we also have plenty of other platform and resources focused on different topics, such as our Global Forest Watch which focuses on forests, deforestation, etc. and other platforms on Energy, Water, etc.
- So what is CW? It is a website. A hub with 100s of credible datasents, and 100 of thousands of data points. A user friendly visualization tool that provides a place for quick insights as well as long deep dives. We offer open data on countries past and future GHG emissions, and granular information on countries climate targets, such as nationally determined contributions, long term strategies, policies, and so on. Our goal is to bring transparency, but also make your work possible and easier to help everyone ultimately drive climate actions. Getting insights that would not have been possible just looking at the PDFs that countries submit to the UNFCCC. A big part of our work this year is to make climate commitments more transparent and accessible. We are an informational platform,in the sense that we don’t make suggestions on what each country should do, but we provide the data so that you can make informed decisions yourself.
- The Paris Agreement is a legally binding international treaty on Climate Change. It was adopted by 196 Parties at COP 21 in Paris, December 2015, and entered into force on 4 November 2016. It’s goal is to limit global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to preindustrial levels. The Paris Agreement works on a 5-year cycle of increasingly ambitious climate action carried out by countries. In every cycle, countries submit their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), communicating the actions they will take to reduce their Greenhouse Gas emissions in order to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement. Long-Term Strategies To better frame the efforts towards the long-term goal, the Paris Agreement invites countries to formulate and submit by 2020 long-term low greenhouse gas emission development strategies (LT-LEDS). LT-LEDS provide the long-term horizon to the NDCs. Unlike NDCs, they are not mandatory. Nevertheless, they place the NDCs into the context of countries’ long-term planning and development priorities, providing a vision and direction for future development. Net-Zero targets In addition, countries are encouraged to adopt a Net-Zero target by mid century. https://www.wri.org/insights/net-zero-ghg-emissions-questions-answered

- 147 countries — or nearly 75% of Paris Agreement signatories, accounting for 56% of global emissions — had submitted a new or updated NDC 83 of those countries have submitted NDCs that will result in lower GHG emissions, compared to their previous submission While most of the major economies have submitted an updated NDC, two of the world’s largest emitters — China and India, responsible for 24% and 7% of global emissions, respectively — have not.
- All countries have mitigation commitments in their NDCs. All new and updated NDCs include elements to reduce or limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Most countries (88% of those submitting to date) adopt a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as encouraged by the Paris Agreement. A few countries (10%) present non-GHG targets, such as targets to increase renewable energy or reduce deforestation. To date, only South Sudan has presented no targets, offering a list of policies and actions instead. In the first round of NDCs, nearly a quarter of NDCs lacked a GHG target: 13% were based on non-GHG targets, such as increasing clean energy or reducing deforestation), while 10% contained neither GHG nor non-GHG targets. Among the new or updated NDCs, 90% contain GHG targets.
- More NDCs cover all sectors and greenhouse gases. The Paris Agreement requires or encourages economy-wide targets — that is, targets that cover all sectors of the economy (energy, waste, industrial processes and product use, agriculture, and land use) and all relevant greenhouse gases. This is important because it helps ensure that countries will examine all opportunities to reduce emissions, rather than omit some important sources.
