Progress Report: Assessing National Climate Plans (NDCs)

Countries’ climate plans — known as nationally determined contributions, or NDCs — form the foundation of the Paris Climate Agreement. New research shows they’re falling short. WRI’s State of NDCs finds that national climate plans will reduce global emissions 7% below 2019 levels by 2030, when achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement requires that emissions drop 43%. WRI experts lay out this and other takeaways to keep in mind as countries formulate new NDCs for 2025. Read more

New WRI research reveals that beyond their carbon-storage abilities, forests impact temperature and rainfall both locally and globally. In fact, forests’ non-carbon effects help fight climate change, support food and water security, build resilience and more. Read more
