This page is a Q&A briefing on the importance of 24/7 renewable electricity matching and the technical issues of the competing Emissions First Partnership proposals.

After weakening its updated NDC, removing its 2030 target altogether, and with its pledge to markedly increase fossil fuel production and consequentially increase methane emissions, COP29 host Azerbaijan has earned a "Critically Insufficient" rating from the Climate Action Tracker, in an analysis released today.

As countries prepare to set new climate targets in their updated NDCs following a global commitment to triple renewables at COP28, Climate Analytics and NewClimate Institute present new analysis on what a 1.5°C-aligned rollout of wind and solar could look like for key countries.

The German transport sector is lagging in climate action. Delayed reductions in emissions will require drastic measures to achieve climate neutrality by 2045.

With this summer marking the hottest on record and following a year where the global annual temperature exceeded 1.5˚C, the urgency for accelerated and more effective climate action has never been clearer. As we approach COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, critical discussions around the most pressing climate topics – from climate finance, corporate accountability in climate action to national climate targets for 2035 – are laying the groundwork for the UN’s main climate conference. As the countdown to COP29 continues, Climate Week NYC, the largest annual climate event of its kind, will take place from...

Amid growing controversy over potentially loosening rules for offsetting corporate emissions, the Voluntary Carbon Markets Integrity initiative (VCMI) has released a second proposal for its contentious Scope 3 Claim.

Despite the rise of far-right parties in the European Parliament, climate action is here to stay. A strong climate foreign policy is crucial to maintain European competitiveness and global leadership in climate action. The new EU political cycle is the right moment for the EU to carry out essential institutional reforms to strengthen its climate foreign policy. Without these reforms, the EU risks losing its position in the global clean economy.

In this article, we unpack Germany’s hydrogen import strategy and highlight three key considerations for Global South countries looking to export hydrogen to Germany.

Following months of polarised wrangling over the potential role of offsetting to meet corporate climate targets, the SBTi has published two papers which shed light on the future trajectory of the initiative’s standards.

Supporting Argentina’s climate action and NDC implementation in key economic sectors.

En este seminario web, presentaremos nuestra publicación reciente, donde se estiman diversos componentes de las necesidades financieras relacionadas con el retiro anticipado de la infraestructura de combustibles fósiles, el desarrollo de energías renovables y la transición de personas trabajadoras, comunidades y regiones de manera justa.

We call for scientific, ambitious, equitable, robust, credible and transparent rules around carbon accounting and corporate climate target setting. Voluntary and regulatory frameworks on climate transition planning must exclude offsetting.

At the launch event in Brussels, ECNO will present their newest findings and engage with relevant high-profile stakeholders from the European Parliament and the economy.

Southeast Asia, the fastest-growing region in the developing world, is at a crossroads. On the one hand, it seeks to develop its economy and provide sufficient and affordable energy to power economic and social development, which has historically driven reliance on fossil fuels. On the other hand, the region is among the most vulnerable to the impacts of human-induced climate change – from deadly heatwaves to destructive floods – that are only intensifying with increased greenhouse gas emissions. The key to balancing competing priorities in Southeast Asia -- energy security and economic...

In this webinar, the CASE team presents opportunities and challenges in shifting the energy sectors of the CASE countries to largely decarbonised systems. We compare the role of electrification and gaseous energy carriers in this transition, and discuss how different choices impact energy security. The input presentation is followed by reactions from energy experts in the CASE countries and a “Q&A” session.

The CAT released its "Guide to a good 2035 target" at the climate talks in Bonn, Germany today, setting out a detailed, four-point recipe of key elements governments need to include in their next round of climate targets (Nationally Determined Contributions or NDCs), to be submitted to the UNFCCC from November this year.
