What are the five things we need to do to rescue the goals of the Paris Agreement? @BillHareClimate explains.

But climate action has flatlined in the last few years. This is not a failure of Paris: it’s a failure of political leadership. At next week’s COP30 in Brazil, countries have to face their lack of action and tackle emissions reductions head on. Getting back to 1.5°C is possible.

Ten years on, the Paris Agreement is working—just not fast enough. Our new report tracks 22 ways it’s changing the world: uniting countries behind 1.5°C and net zero, and cutting projected 2100 warming by ~1°C (≈3.6°C → ≈2.7°C).

COUNTRY ANALYSIS: Despite weak NDC, #VietNam is moves to deeper renewable energy integration & coal phase-out. Ambitious new targets & polices for solar & offshore wind signal stronger long-term alignment w the energy transition "Critically insufficient" https://t.co/HW3Yi16dou

Indonesia is lagging in its renewables build out. “Its latest power grid plan delayed a lot of the renewable deployment until after 2030 and includes near-term increases in fossil-fuel generation,” policy analyst Thomas Houlie told @straits_times. https://t.co/XGgz0VX4xX

COUNTRY ANALYSIS: "much done, much more to do" is our summary of the new UK government's first year on #climate policy, achieving moderate success in addressing the implementation gap. Overall rating remains "Insufficient" https://t.co/hlzy45TiWg

We’re thrilled to launch the Global Methane Explorer: a comprehensive dashboard for methane emissions, targets and policies. You can use it monitor progress, identify gaps, and support urgent, evidence-based action to accelerate global methane mitigation. https://t.co/VlABXw4eIx

Implementation is accelerating with most of the 260 active policies adopted since the late 2000s. But some key oil and gas rules in Canada, Brazil, and Egypt remain only announced. And some countries are missing policies for key sectors e.g. China has no CH4 specific ag policy.

Who is acting on methane? Our report finds 81% of countries in our study include methane in their NDCs, but only 16% have adopted methane reduction targets. You can explore national methane emissions, targets, and policies in our Global Methane Explorer. https://t.co/VlABXw4eIx

Who’s emitting the most methane? 🐮 Agriculture is the biggest source of methane emissions, (≈44% in 2022), followed by 🔋 energy and 🗑️ waste. One-third of global methane emissions come from China, the US, and India combined. https://t.co/CMghFrCyHi

Methane is 28 times more potent than CO2 but stays in the atmosphere for a much shorter period. Immediate action to reduce methane could bring down warming relatively quickly. In 1.5°C compatible pathways, global methane emissions must fall ~34% by 2030 and ~40% by 2035.

But we’re off track: methane climbed to ~345 Mt CH₄in 2022 and current trends align with ~2.7°C warming. Agriculture and energy emissions grew ~20% from 1990–2022, with waste sector emissions growing 50% – largely from ⬆️urbanisation ⬆️ consumption 🗑️inadequate waste management

Faster action on #methane this decade, alongside deep cuts in CO2, is essential for limiting near term warming. Our new report assesses emissions, targets, and policies for 72 countries that account for over 90% of global methane emissions. https://t.co/5Tv6TqjRPV

What will it take to finally get climate #adaptation into the political mainstream? Catch @manjeetdhakal, Head of our LDC Support Team, speak on how #COP30 can deliver real progress at @climatechangenews.com webinar tomorrow, Oct 30, 2:00 PM CEST.

Yesterday, the UN SG @antonioguterres said we have failed to avoid overshoot of 1.5°C of warming. This is a massive policy failure, and we need to get back on track. What happens when we "overshoot" the 1.5°C planetary boundary? @BillHareClimate explains.

Important thread from @BillHareClimate on yesterday's statements by @antonioguterres on climate ⬇️

📣 Today we have updated our summary of net zero targets across 40+ of the world's largest emitters. What do we see? 🛑 Ten years after the adoption of the Paris Agreement, the design of most net zero targets remains inadequate. 🔗 https://t.co/hgQ52umWue

COUNTRY ANALYSIS: #Egypt is slowly emerging from its economic crisis, where climate action saw limited progress. The govt has a RE target of 42% by 2030, but deployment has largely stalled. Instead, it has opted for massive fossil gas expansion ➡️ https://t.co/Ln8ODfqr3K
