Climate Change Mitigation

The Climate Change Mitigation issue category measures progress to combat global climate change, which exacerbates other environmental threats and imperils human health and safety. It is composed of 11 indicators: adjusted emission growth rates for four greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, F-gases, and N2O) and one climate pollutant (black carbon); adjusted emission growth rates of carbon dioxide with country-specific targets based on their allocated share of the remaining carbon budget, projected greenhouse gas emissions in 2050 and projected cumulative emissions to 2050 relative to countries' allocated share of the remaining carbon budget; net carbon fluxes from land cover change; and GHG growth rate adjusted by either emissions intensity or by per capita emissions.
