Climate action by countries puts world on track for ‘at least 2.4C’ of warming

The video discusses the updated emission targets submitted by various countries, highlighting the diversity in their ambition levels. While some countries like South Africa and Morocco have strengthened their targets, others like India and Brazil have not made significant progress. The video also examines the credibility of net zero announcements, noting a significant gap between targets and actual policies. Despite over 140 governments announcing net zero targets, the lack of short-term policies undermines their feasibility. The video concludes by reflecting on the progress made since the Paris Agreement, emphasizing the need for credible actions to keep the 1.5-degree target within reach.

• India and Brazil

What is the projected temperature increase if all net zero announcements are fully implemented?

• 3.0 degrees

• 1.8 degrees

• 2.5 degrees

• 2.0 degrees

What is the main criticism of the net zero targets discussed in the second section?

• They are not announced by enough countries
