A comprehensive, data-driven snapshot of global climate metrics and urgent targets
Our Two-Part Plan aims to prevent climate catastrophe by both averting vulnerable tipping points and halting further greenhouse gas emissions through a global transition to a clean, renewable economy. This page integrates both current metrics and future targets across a range of countries and metrics to help guide urgent climate action.
The table below presents a global snapshot of key climate metrics — including energy generation mixes, EV adoption, emissions, and investments. These numbers are indicative estimates assembled from multiple reputable sources.
