Climate Pledges Explorer

From policy ambition to real action, the IEA’s latest interactive database provides country and regional outlooks on climate commitments and net zero pledges

Estimates for mid-term energy-related GHG emissions and long-term pledges to reach Net Zero

The Climate Pledges Explorer aims to facilitate the analysis of the mid- and long-term climate pledges of more than 190 countries by visualising energy sector GHG emissions induced by subsequent versions of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategies (LT-LEDS) submitted to the UNFCCC. This tool also provides an overview of governments' Net Zero pledges and visualises the implied emissions reductions alongside the NDCs.

Historical and NDC estimates are energy-related GHG emissions from fuel combustion and fugitive GHG emissions. NDCs and NZE estimates are IEA assessment and its linear interpolation do not represent a trajectory; please check the documentation for more details on our methodology. The NDCs shown in the chart start from the submission year of the document and not the original base year, up to 2022 (latest GHG historical data available).

Important note about this data

The data and information contained in this Explorer is based on the International Energy Agency’s independent compilation, review, interpretation and analysis of individual countries’ publicly available climate pledges. This Explorer is not intended to express individual countries’ official targets, nor does it intend to provide emission trajectories for such countries. In particular, the data included in this Explorer includes the IEA’s estimation of energy-related GHG emissions and therefore may differ from data in other documents. Moreover, the data in the Explorer should not be compared with the results of IEA’s Global Energy and Climate (GEC) scenarios, as such scenarios include other factors and data not reflected here. This Explorer, as well as any data included herein, is without prejudice to the status of or sovereignty over any territory, to the delimitation of international frontiers and boundaries and to the name of any territory, city or area. The Explorer reflects the views of the IEA Secretariat but does not necessarily reflect those of individual IEA member countries. The IEA makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, in respect to the Explorer’s contents (including its completeness or accuracy) and shall not be responsible for any use of, or reliance on, the database.
