The OECD International Programme for Action on Climate (IPAC) supports country progress towards net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and a more resilient economy by 2050. Through regular tracking, policy evaluation and feedback on results and best practices, IPAC helps countries strengthen and co-ordinate their climate action. It complements and supports the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement monitoring frameworks.

The Climate Action Monitor

The Climate Action Monitor is IPAC’s annual flagship publication. It provides a synthesis of climate action and progress towards net-zero targets for 51 OECD and OECD partner countries. It presents a summary of information on greenhouse gas emissions, an assessment of climate-related hazards, and key trends in climate action. Directed towards policymakers and practitioners, the findings confirm, as COP28 gets underway, that without increased ambition and a significant increase in national climate action, countries will not be able to meet the net-zero challenge.

This work is part of the OECD’s Net Zero+ project which study global pathways to net zero and examine  complementary policy actions that support profound structural reforms. Key actions for countries include:

  • Increased ambition and adopt whole-of-the-government policy approaches.

  • Strive to accelerate progress towards net-zero targets and avoid backsliding despite navigating multiple crises.

  • Develop actionable strategies to address bottlenecks, including expanding the supply of critical materials for the energy transition.

  • Ensure a just transition to protect vulnerable communities.

Based on the IPAC Dashboard, The Climate Action Monitor provides a digest of country progress towards climate objectives and alignment with Paris Agreement goals to help countries advance towards net zero.
