Climate Action Tracker (CAT) is: an independent scientific project with the: aim of monitoring government action——to achieve their reduction of greenhouse gas emissions with regard——to international agreements – specifically the——globally agreed Paris Agreement aim of "holding warming well below 2°C, "and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1."5°C.". It is tracking climate action in 39 countries. And the EU responsible for over 85% of global emissions. The CAT is the product of two organisations: NewClimate Institute and Climate Analytics .

The actions it tracks are: - Effect of climate policies and "action on emissions." - Impact of pledges, targets and NDCs on national emissions over the "time period to 2030." And where possible beyond. - Comparability of effort against countries' fair share and modelled domestic pathways.

COP26

Toward the end of the COP26 climate conference, CAT produced a report concluding that the current "wave of net‑zero emission goals ※ not matched by, action on the ground" and that the world is likely headed for more than 2.4 °C of warming by the end of the century.
