The Climate Action Monitor, part of the International Programme for Action of Climate (IPAC), provides a diagnostic policy framework for assessing country progress towards climate objectives. Its goal is to provide a digest of progress towards, and alignment with, Paris Agreement goals to support countries in making better-informed decisions and allow stakeholders to measure improvements more accurately. Alongside the IPAC Dashboard, it complements and supports the UNFCCC and Paris Agreement monitoring frameworks by: reviewing key trends and developments and highlighting areas for further analysis and policy action; promoting greater harmonisation of key indicators; showcasing examples of good climate mitigation and adaptation practices and results; and strengthening transparency over climate policies.
