The 2024 Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor (CCRM) analyses the climate strategies of 51 major global companies, critically assessing the extent to which they demonstrate corporate climate leadership. The collective ambition of companies’ 2030 and net-zero climate targets has gradually improved over the last two years.
Limiting global average temperature rise to 1.5°C requires stopping the construction of new coal power plants, and that many existing plants must retire early before the end of their technical lifetimes. This presents a major challenge as coal supplied more than one-third of global electricity generation in 2023.
A special edition of the Corporate Climate Responsibility Monitor assesses the integrity of renewable electricity targets from 10 major companies in fashion and tech. The real GHG emission reduction impact of companies’ renewable electricity claims is often far less than implied.
Since the discovery of large offshore oil and gas reserves in 2014, Senegal has set its hopes on fossil fuel export revenue to help fund its plans to become an emerging economy by 2035.
This report by NewClimate Institute, PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency and the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) provides an overview of projected greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 25 major emitting economies up to 2030 under currently implemented policies.

The State of Climate Action 2023 provides the world’s most comprehensive roadmap of how to close the gap in climate action across sectors to limit global warming to 1.5°C.
This paper introduces seven key functions of an accountability system for corporate climate action. Further provide selected observations on how to improve the accountability system’s status quo.
This report aims to shed light on net zero portfolio targets’ internal climate prioritisation value (Do they drive financial institutions’ climate action?) and real-world impact value (What can we expect from those targets? How useful are they to achieve international climate goals? Do we need them?).
