Even the best emission reductions proposal are only half way to the limits in 2020 that would keep global average temperature rise below 2

This report by Ecofys and Germanwatch analyses over 100 policies in the G20 countries and shows that climate-friendly policies not only bring environmental benefits, but they can also boost and diversify the economy.

Stringent global greenhouse gas emission reductions by all sectors and all countries will be necessary to keep global average temperature increase below 2

The new analysis presents recent and expected emission developments of each country and various other indicators, and gives an overview of the most important activities by the federal governments to respond to the threat of climate change.

This report shows the results under a Greenhouse Development Rights (GDRs) regime for global effort sharing until 2050. In addition, it compares the GDRs approach to several other effort sharing approaches for different stabilisation levels.

The G8 climate scorecards provide a comparable snapshot of the current situation across the G8 countries as well as the five major developing countries. They provide recent and expected emission developments of each country and various other indicators. The scorecards also provide an overview of the most important activities by the governments to respond to the threat of climate
change.
