Original story by Shannon Gibson<\/em><\/p>\n

After 30 years of international climate talks, 10 years of a global treaty<\/span><\/a>\u00a0promising to keep temperatures in check, and\u00a0trillions of dollars in damage<\/span><\/a>, the world is still not on track to stop rising global temperatures. Greenhouse gas emissions were at\u00a0record highs in 2024<\/span><\/a>, and it was Earth\u2019s\u00a0hottest year on record<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Environmental Studies professor Shannon Gibson researches<\/a><\/span> the dynamics of global environmental politics, including the United Nations climate negotiations. She and her lab have been tracking countries\u2019 latest climate pledges \u2013 known as nationally determined contributions<\/span><\/a>, or NDCs \u2013 to see which countries have stepped up their efforts, which have slid back and who has ideas that can deliver a safer world for everyone.<\/p>\n

While the Trump administration has been\u00a0pressuring countries<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to back away from their climate commitments \u2013 and\u00a0succeeded in delaying an International Maritime Organization vote<\/span><\/a>\u00a0on a global plan to tax greenhouse gas emissions from shipping after\u00a0threatening other counties with sanctions, visa restrictions and port fees<\/span><\/a>\u00a0if they supported it \u2013 many countries are still pressing ahead.<\/p>\n

Trump agitates, but many countries are steadfast<\/h2>\n

U.S. President Donald Trump, whose administration came into office vowing to\u00a0eliminate climate regulations<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0boost the fossil fuel industry<\/span><\/a>, derided concerns about climate change in his Sept. 23, 2025, speech to the U.N. General Assembly. He called climate change the \u201cgreatest con job ever perpetuated\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and ridiculed green energy and climate science.<\/p>\n

Such language no longer surprises world leaders, though. More than 100 other countries announced new climate commitments<\/span><\/a>\u00a0during a high-level summit a few days later.<\/p>\n

China<\/b>, currently the world\u2019s largest greenhouse gas emitter, was lauded for\u00a0hitting its green energy targets five years early<\/span><\/a>. Its rapid expansion of low-cost renewable energy and electric vehicle manufacturing has reduced pollution in Chinese cities while also boosting its economy and expanding the government\u2019s influence around the world.<\/p>\n

Chinese President Xi Jinping announced the country\u2019s\u00a0first absolute emissions reduction goal<\/span><\/a>\u00a0at the summit, committing to cut its net greenhouse gas emissions by 7% to 10% from peak levels by 2035. China also committed to nearly triple its solar and wind power capacity and expand reforestation efforts.<\/p>\n

While advocates and other governments had\u00a0hoped for a stronger announcement<\/span><\/a>\u00a0from China, the new goals mark an important shift from the country\u2019s earlier carbon intensity targets, which aimed to decrease the amount of greenhouse gas emissions per unit of economic output but still allowed emissions to grow over time.<\/p>\n

The European Union<\/b>\u00a0has yet to submit its new commitments, but the group of 27 European countries\u00a0delivered a letter of intent<\/span><\/a>, saying it would commit to a 66% to 72% collective decrease in net greenhouse gas emissions by 2035 compared with 1990 levels. Europe has seen a swift rise in renewable energy,\u00a0up sharply since Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine<\/span><\/a>\u00a0put the continent\u2019s natural gas supplies in jeopardy.<\/p>\n

The EU has also made waves by extending its carbon pricing rules beyond its borders.<\/p>\n

The EU\u2019s\u00a0Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism<\/span><\/a>, scheduled to begin in January 2026, will be the first system to charge for the climate impact of imported goods coming into Europe from countries that don\u2019t have carbon prices similar to the EU\u2019s. The measure, meant to even the playing field for EU industries, sets a global precedent for linking carbon emissions to trade.<\/p>\n

However, the EU\u2019s climate plans are also facing some headwinds. Its parliament is\u00a0moving toward softening<\/span><\/a>\u00a0new corporate sustainability requirements\u00a0after pressure from companies<\/span><\/a>. And it may face calls from some member countries to\u00a0delay a new carbon market meant<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to cut emissions from road transportation and buildings, Politico reported.<\/p>\n

The EU has pledged to mobilize\u00a0up to 300 billion Euros<\/span><\/a>\u00a0(about US$350 billion) to support the global clean energy transition in developing countries.<\/p>\n

The United Kingdom, Japan and Australia<\/b>\u00a0submitted their most ambitious targets to date. All three put them on track to reach\u00a0net-zero emissions by 2050<\/span><\/a>, meaning any greenhouse gases they emit will be offset by projects that avoid carbon emissions or remove carbon from the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

In Australia, Queensland\u2019s recent announcement that it would\u00a0extend existing coal power plant use<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to the 2030s and 2040s may slow national progress. But Queensland also supports scaling up renewable energy and is still\u00a0aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Norway<\/b>\u00a0committed to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by\u00a0at least 70% by 2035 compared with 1990 levels<\/span><\/a>, which would align with the Paris Agreement goal to keep global emissions below 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit). However, it\u00a0plans to remain<\/span><\/a>\u00a0a major oil and gas exporter.<\/p>\n

Notably, many developing countries also stepped up their commitments.<\/p>\n

Brazil<\/b>\u00a0pledged a net emissions reduction of 59% to 67% by 2035<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and is maintaining its 2050 net-zero target. The government also drew criticism for\u00a0approving plans for oil exploration<\/span><\/a>\u00a0near the mouth of the Amazon River.<\/p>\n
