Climate Action Tracker (CAT) is an independent scientific project with the aim of monitoring government action to achieve their reduction of greenhouse gas emissions 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 Institute and Climate Analytics .
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.
