Leading greenhouse gas emitting countries need to strengthen their Paris Agreement pledges before the Agreement goes into effect in 2020
Climate Scorecard’s Global Report # 4 focuses on the Nationally Determined Contributions to the Paris Agreement made by leading greenhouse gas emitting countries. It summarizes the Paris Agreement pledges of twenty countries, analyzes and rates the pledges according to Climate Scorecard’s 4-point rating system, and provides recommendations for ways that countries can strengthen their pledges. Each country’s Spotlight Report is coupled with an Action Alert message supporting these recommendations that citizens can post and send to their Minister of Environment and/or other key climate change decision-makers.
