Net zero scorecard

Energy & Climate Intelligence Unit logo

The Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit's ‘Net Zero Scorecard’ benchmarks nations based on the status of their net zero targets. This nation's status:

In Law

Climate-related laws & policies

Climate Change Laws of the World logo

Climate Change Laws of the World collects and summarises national laws and policies, allowing users to make their own assessment of countries climate responses.

Country Profile

The Net Zero Tracker links to external initiatives that have their own independent remits, methodologies, and missions. Our respective conclusions may therefore differ. We nonetheless believe that linking to their work is useful for clarity on wider net zero accountability. Please visit our methodology for more on the initiatives we ‘signpost’ to and the rationale behind why we do it.
