This year is on track to become the hottest on record, amplifying the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events. The urgent and real need to act on climate change is evident.
The OECD’s Climate Action Monitor 2023 offers a summary of climate action and progress towards net-zero targets for 51 OECD and OECD partner countries. It also presents a summary of information on greenhouse gas emissions, an assessment of climate-related hazards and recent trends in climate action.
Directed towards policymakers and practitioners, the findings suggest that without increased ambition and a significant expansion in national climate action, countries will not be able to meet the net-zero challenge.
