What is a good target design and how do countries compare?

The Climate Action Tracker tracks government climate action in around 40 countries and measures it against the 1.5°C Paris Agreement limit.

In this event, we presented our evaluation of governments’ net zero target design and outline what needs to happen between now and COP27.
