Climate Action Tracker (CAT) is an English-language website that shows what global warming can be expected by the end of this century. For this purpose, the voluntary commitments of individual states to climate protection efforts within the framework of the Copenhagen Accord and the Cancun Agreement are scientifically analyzed and fed into a climate model , which then provides a forecast of global warming up to the year 2100. The data from 32 countries are taken into account, which together are responsible for around 80% of global emissions and in which around 70% of the world's population live. The forecast is presented in the form of a thermometer.
In addition, the so-called CAT emissions gaps are published, which show the differences between the forecast emissions and the emissions permitted to achieve the two-degree target and the 1.5-degree target .
The CAT is created by the institutes Ecofys and Climate Analytics as well as the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). The website was launched in November 2009. The CAT is financed by the European Climate Foundation .
The CAT is related to publications in scientific journals.
Current status of the forecast
Currently (as of March 2020), the CAT taking into account ongoing measures (Engl. Current Policies ) a temperature range of + 2.3 ° C to + 4.1 ° C with a forecast value of +3.0 ° C from. On the basis of the promised emission reductions and targets ( Pledges & Targets ) the result is a range of +2.3 ° C to +3.5 ° C and a forecast value of +2.8 ° C.
reception
The Climate Action Tracker was reported in particular during the climate conferences, including in renowned media such as BBC News , Washington Post and Spiegel Online . The results of the CAT were taken into account in the Emissions Gap Report of the United Nations Environment Program .
