ACCLIMATE: new policy brief and report published

damage sections. Furthermore, nearly all updated SIDS NDCs include targets which are dependent on external support, underscoring the importance of accessible climate finance and sustained technical support to translate SIDS’ commitments into implementation. Building on the COP30 event, Accelerating NDC Implementation in SIDS: Bridging the Gap through Effective Partnerships, this event will examine how SIDS can move from their ambitious NDC targets to tangible implementation. Climate Analytics’ report addresses this question by presenting four inter-related pillars which are critical in driving NDC implementation across SIDS. These include governance and coordination; climate finance mobilization; data, monitoring and reporting, and capacity building. These four pillars will form a basis for discussions during this event, enabling participants to share lessons learned from national experiences and identify practical approaches to addressing implementation barriers. Several complementary initiatives can help connect national priorities with implementation support and contribute towards NDC implementation. The SIDS Global Business Network (GBN) engages private sector actors in SIDS’ sustainable development. Together with the Island Investment Forum, it offers opportunities to connect investment priorities with potential partners. The SIDS Partnerships Framework and its Steering Committee can support partnership development and dialogue between governments, civil society, entrepreneurs and further stakeholders critical to driving...

With COP31 approaching, the Carbon Project Developer Forum (PD Forum) is calling on governments and international climate institutions to help turn Article 6 of the Paris Agreement into a functioning mechanism for climate investment. Article 6 has three components: Article 6.2: Provides accounting and reporting guidance for Parties to use internationally transferred mitigation outcomes towards their nationally determined contributions (NDCs).

AR7 report was scheduled for 2028 in time for Cop33 summit but some petro-states and major developing countries want to postpone it

Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) are the official national climate plans of countries under the Paris Agreement. A country’s NDC outlines how it will cut greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and adapt to climate change. Countries must review and update their NDCs every five years, with each government deciding its needs and targets based on its local circumstances and capabilities. The submission includes emission targets with specific goals to lower GHG emissions. The aim of NDCs is to keep global warming under the 1.5C target and track climate action by showing what each country commits to in the short and medium term. The most recent NDC submissions were in 2025, which is the third cycle of NDC submissions. Recent research has highlighted the contribution of militaries to global emissions, with estimates suggesting that the everyday activity of the world’s militaries could be responsible for around 5.5% of global emissions, excluding the additional impact of conflicts. In comparison, another emissions intensive sector, global shipping, which has faced growing pressure to reduce emissions, is estimated to account for 3% of global emissions. In order to tackle climate change it’s important to account for emissions, however military emissions are frequently absent from global emissions reporting...

The latest climate pledges put forth by nations will cut global greenhouse gas emissions just 6% by 2035, a UN report has said, weeks before COP31 talks in Turkey. That is a tenth of the roughly 60% reduction from 2019 levels that scientists say is needed to limit warming to 1.5C, significantly down from last year's estimate after the United States withdrew from the Paris Agreement. The report by UN Climate Change is a synthesis of 154 countries' nationally determined contributions (NDCs) - obligatory submissions under the 2015 Paris deal - received between January 2024 and August 2026, covering 71% of global emissions. It found that if the countries fully implemented their plans and also met conditional targets, emissions cuts would still amount to just 9%. The UN last year estimated a 10% cut by 2035, but that was before a large number of NDCs had come in, leaving it to model the missing pledges, and before the US was taken out of the equation. Under President Donald Trump, the US has left the Paris Agreement for a second time and is pursuing policies that heavily favour fossil fuels. Last week, the United Nations Environment Programme found that global commitments...
