![]() ![]() The net zero CAT assessment also includes announcements made by governments which are not backed up by any national legislation, nor plans. No single country that we analyse has sufficient short-term policies in place to put itself on track to its net zero target. Our analysis shows countries with an “acceptable” net zero rating cover only 6% of global emissions. But this is only IF these targets are fully implemented, and it’s a big IF. If all the announced net zero commitments or targets under discussion are implemented, this would bring our temperature estimate for this “optimistic scenario” down to 1.8☌ by 2100, with peak warming of 1.9☌. While these targets are an important signal, and some have accelerated governments’ climate action, the quality of most remains questionable. ![]() Globally, around 90% of emissions are now covered by net zero targets.
