The Climate Action Dashboard* by the OECD features key indicators to track progress towards climate objectives and provide a snapshot of country climate action. It is one of the four components of the International Programme for Action on Climate, set up to help countries monitor, assess and strengthen their actions to progress towards net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and a more resilient economy by 2050. The Dashboard will be refined as new indicators become available. An overview of country progress and comparisons are accessible through the extend buttons located on the top right of each chart and the dimension tabs.
A digest of main messages, good practices and results is presented in the Annual Climate Action Monitor.
*Preliminary version
Monitoring GHG emissions is key to measuring progress towards climate goals and GHG neutrality and to guide policy action. The focus is on emission trends and trajectories, complemented with emission structures and intensities. Related indicators reflect both direct pressures on climate and the results of policy action
GHG emission trends and trajectories
GHG emission structure and intensities
Assessing climate impacts and risks is key to identifying adaptation needs. The focus is on climate-related impacts on environmental conditions, climate-related risks and vulnerabilities, and impacts on well-being. Finding key indicators that are easy to interpret is challenging as climate-related risks are specific to each country’s circumstances. Particular attention is given to weather-related impacts and extreme events.

Socio-economic inequality in the exposure to climate-related hazards
Effective climate action is needed to progress towards net-zero GHG emissions and a resilient economy. The focus is on government measures having a direct bearing on emissions and for which indicators are readily available (climate-related pricing, taxation and innovation), complemented with changes in the energy mix. Indicators on other important aspects are being developed.
