If Trump Were to Pull the U.S. from the Paris Climate Agreement Again, It Will Be Much Harder to Rejoin

A potential second withdrawal of the United States from the Paris climate agreement under a Trump administration could have more significant implications due to faster exit terms and potential impacts on global climate aid and the UNFCCC.

UAE, Azerbaijan, Brazil join forces to limit global warming to 1.5C

The United Arab Emirates, Azerbaijan and Brazil are forming a troika to push for an international agreement to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
The troika partnership aims to enhance international cooperation and stimulate ambition in the next round of countries' climate targets.

Fossil fuel phaseout: on the cusp of history at COP28

Countries may push through an agreement at the UN climate summit that calls for the reduction in fossil fuel use and scaling up of renewables.
A strong agreement would send a clear signal to policymakers and the energy sector about the direction to head in.

Climate Scientists Record First 12-Month Stretch Over 1.5 Degrees Celsius Target

World leaders must curb emissions by 42% by 2030 to meet Paris climate agreement
January 2024 was the hottest January on record, marking 12 consecutive months with temperatures above 1.5°C target

Germany likely missed climate target again, activists angry

Data published Wednesday by a respected environmental think tank indicates Germany likely missed its target for reducing greenhouse gas emissions again last year, despite a big effort by the new government to expand the renewable energy use.Agora Energiewende think tank said in a report that the country released the equivalent of 761 million metric tons of carbon dioxide, the main planet-warming gas, in 2022.

What happens if the 1.5C target for global heating is missed?

The world's most ambitious climate target of limiting global heating to 1.5C is under threat.
Abandoning this target would have significant implications for the planet and its inhabitants.

The UK government is likely to miss its targets under the Paris climate agreement by a wide margin.
Current policies would only achieve just over half of the emissions cuts needed by 2030.

Greenhouse gas emissions soar with China, US and India most at fault

China and India's electricity generation and US oil and gas production have contributed the most to global greenhouse gas emissions since 2015.
Methane emissions, a potent greenhouse gas, have also increased despite countries pledging to reduce them.

Doubling Energy-Efficiency Gains Is Necessary to Meet Climate Goals

Countries need to double their energy efficiency gains to meet emissions reductions required by the Paris climate agreement.
Developing countries need to make the most significant improvements in energy efficiency.
IEA recommends doubling energy efficiency gains as one of the key climate action items for COP28.
