Warming projections based on pledges and current policies

This data visualizes the Climate Action Tracker (CAT) expected warming degrees based on pledges and current policies.CAT is a science-based project that tracks government climate action and measures it against the globally agreed Paris Agreement aim of "holding warming well below 2°C, and pursuing efforts to limit warming to 1.5°C. CAT monitors what governments are doing to reduce climate change. It compares their actions to the goals of the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius.The temperatures shown are mid-point estimates (medians) of what the Earth's temperature could be in 2100, based on current government pledges and policies (NDCs). There's a 50% chance the actual temperature could be higher if these actions are followed. The CAT uses a climate model called MAGICC7 to make these estimates.Data originally from Climate Action Tracker.
