Climbing global greenhouse gas emissions. Intensifying climate impacts. Fading political momentum among some major emitters. The world has seen a troubling backsliding of climate action — precisely when bold, urgent progress is needed most.
Despite mounting challenges, there are encouraging signs of hope. Record-breaking clean energy investments and a growing surge in private climate finance underscore the possibility that rapid transformation remains within reach.
A decade since more than 190 countries adopted the Paris Agreement, it's time to evaluate where we stand: how are global efforts to mitigate climate change fairing?
To learn more, join us on October 28 for the launch of the State of Climate Action 2025, the world’s most comprehensive roadmap for closing the gap in climate action across sectors to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
Hosted in partnership with World Resources Institute, the Bezos Earth Fund, Climate Analytics, ClimateWorks Foundation, and the High-Level Climate Champions, this launch webinar will spotlight the report’s latest findings and explore what it will take to accelerate transformational change this decade. The upcoming report translates the Paris Agreement’s temperature goal into clear, actionable targets across the highest emitting sectors and provides a detailed report card of global progress to date. Tune in to hear from climate leaders as they discuss the key sectoral actions needed to turn the dial on climate action.
