Nigeria submitted its 2035 NDC in September 2025: it is 1.5°C aligned, representing a high level of ambition. However, Nigeria's current policies are projected to significantly increase emissions, which conflicts with the new targets.
1/ The US–Israel war on Iran has once again put #EnergySecurity at the centre of geopolitical tensions. It is the third major shock to the global energy system this decade, exposing the vulnerabilities of fossil fuel-dependent economies. But this crisis is different.
Saudi Arabia’s latest climate pledge is once again undermined by a lack of transparency. It provides no 2035 emissions reduction target, and the 2040 target is tied to an unspecified baseline projection, making ambition and progress impossible to measure.
1/ The 1.5°C national pathway explorer generates the evidence stakeholders need to act. In last week’s webinar, we heard from users of the tool about how it can support advocacy, decision-making, and the implementation of strategies to achieve a 1.5°C-compatible pathway.
