The International Programme for Action on Climate (IPAC) was established in May 2021 to assess and support progress towards net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and a more resilient economy by mid-century. To support these global objectives, IPAC provides governments with information and tools to monitor, evaluate and support the effectiveness of climate measures.
The Climate Action Monitor is part of the diagnostic component of IPAC. Its goal is to provide a digest of country progress towards climate objectives 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, the monitor contributes to international efforts in evidence-based monitoring of progress to net zero 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.
