Country emissions
· “We are a community of data and analytical experts, dedicated to providing credible climate
action information from regions, cities, businesses, investors and civil society. Our mission is
to use this information to show how the world is transitioning to climate neutrality and resilience
in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement."
Climate Action Impact Tool @ UNDP
· ”Assessing climate action contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals"
Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI)
· “an instrument to enable transparency in national and international climate politics. The CCPI
uses a standardized framework to compare the climate performance of 59 countries and the EU,
which together account for 92% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The climate protection
performance is assessed in four categories: GHG Emissions, Renewable Energy, Energy Use and
Climate Policy.”

· INDCs as communicated by parties
· This is an older registry of original “Independent NDCs”
· UNFCCC 2021 Full NDC Synthesis Report
· "Launched in 2016 at COP22 in Marrakesh, the NDC Partnership was founded on the idea that
technical assistance, expertise, and financing for climate action were not being deployed in
an effective or coordinated way to maximize efforts towards achieving the goals of the Paris
Agreement and the SDGs, and that greater support was urgently needed. In response, the NDC
Partnership was established to facilitate collaboration between country governments,
international institutions, non-state actors, and other partners to provide timely support for
accelerated climate action."
· Economic Advisory Initiative
· "Climate Watch is an online platform designed to empower policymakers, researchers, media
and other stakeholders with the open climate data, visualizations and resources they need to
gather insights on national and global progress on climate change. Climate Watch brings together
dozens of datasets for the first time to let users analyze and compare the Nationally Determined
Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement, access historical emissions data, discover how
countries can leverage their climate goals to achieve their sustainable development objectives
and use models to map new pathways to a lower carbon, prosperous future. This free platform
enables users to create and share custom data visualizations and comparisons of national climate
commitments. It contributes to the goals of the Paris Agreement by using open data to increase
transparency and accountability and providing actionable analysis on how countries can enhance
their efforts to combat climate change."

Care about Climate
· CAT Climate Target Update Tracker
· "...an independent scientific project that tracks government climate action and measures it against
the globally agreed Paris Agreement aim of "holding warming well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts
to limit warming to 1.5°C." A collaboration of two organisations, Climate Analytics and New Climate
Institute, the CAT has been providing this independent analysis to policymakers since 2009."
