Global Climate Action Falling Dangerously Short of Paris Agreement Targets, Analysis Reveals

The world is failing to meet climate change targets across all measured sectors, according to a comprehensive new analysis. While some areas show promising development, the pace remains insufficient to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius.

Climate Progress “Alarmingly Inadequate” Worldwide

The global response to climate change is progressing at an “alarmingly inadequate” pace, according to a major new analysis from Systems Change Lab. The State of Climate Action 2025 report reveals that none of the 45 indicators tracking climate progress are on course to meet their 2030 targets established under the Paris Agreement.

Amazon Rainforest’s Carbon Absorption Declines as CO2 Levels Spike, Key Monitoring Satellite Faces Shutdown

Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels surged at an unprecedented rate in 2024, with satellite data revealing the Amazon rainforest’s declining capacity to absorb emissions. The satellite that detected this critical trend now faces potential decommissioning despite remaining operational until 2040.

Unprecedented Carbon Dioxide Acceleration

Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations rose faster in 2024 than in any year since systematic measurements began in the late 1950s, according to new satellite analysis. The record-breaking increase of 3.73 parts per million represents a significant acceleration from previous years, with analysts suggesting this indicates a potentially troubling shift in the global carbon cycle.
