Climate Action Tracker (CAT) is an independent scientific project with the aim of monitoring government action to achieve their reduction of
greenhouse gas emissions Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from human activities intensify the greenhouse effect. This contributes to climate change. Carbon dioxide (), from burning fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum, oil, and natural gas, is the main cause of climate chan ...
with regard to international agreements – specifically the globally agreed Paris Agreement aim of "holding warming well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C.". It is tracking climate action in 39 countries and the EU responsible for over 85% of global emissions. The CAT is the product of two organisations: NewClimate Institut

and Climate Analytic

The actions it tracks are: - Effect of climate policies and action on emissions. - Impact of pledges, targets and NDCs on national emissions over the time period to 2030, and where possible beyond. - Comparability of effort against countries' fair share and modelled domestic pathways.


COP26

Toward the end of the COP26 climate conference, CAT produced a report concluding that the current "wave of netzero emission goals renot matched by action on the ground" and that the world is likely headed for more than 2.4 °C of warming by the end of the century.
