The 2021 Global Climate Leadership MOU aligns with the most recent science, as given in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - Special Report: Global Warming of 1.5oC.

Under2 Ambition Tracker
In line with their 2021 Under2 Memorandum of Understanding commitments, members report long-term emissions reduction targets and future plans to the Under2 Ambition Tracker.
The Tracker is reviewed periodically, so we encourage governments to review their data on a regular basis to ensure it is up to date. This information will then be used for analysis, typically running from April – May every year.
Net zero targets are a vital part of efforts to keep global temperature rises to 1.5 degrees. However, these targets alone are not enough. It is vital that they are accompanied by thorough planning and short-term targets to ensure both progress and government transparency.
2015 Memorandum of Understanding signatories
Key: (*) denotes the government is one of the 12 founding signatories
The 2015 Global Climate Leadership MOU set a standard for leadership that was sufficient for the Paris Agreement in 2015 i.e. 80-90% emissions reduction below 1990 levels by 2050 or below 2 tons per capita emissions by 2050, as per the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - Fifth assessment report (AR5).
