Overview

• The United Nations set February 10, 2025, as the deadline for countries to submit updated decarbonization plans, but only 10 nations complied on time.
• Key global players, including China, India, the European Union, and the United States, have yet to submit revised strategies, though many are expected to do so later this year.
• The United States' prior submission under the Biden administration is unlikely to move forward following Donald Trump's reelection and his announcement of a renewed withdrawal from the Paris Agreement.
• Current national plans put the planet on track for a catastrophic temperature rise of 2.6–2.8°C, far exceeding the Paris Agreement's goal of limiting warming to 1.5–2°C.
• Climate Action Tracker has criticized most of the submitted plans as insufficient, with the United Kingdom standing out as one of the few countries with a robust and comprehensive strategy.
