Within the framework of the NEWPATHWAYS Project, CMCC organizes the webinar “Do the new climate targets make a difference? An analysis of 2035 NDCs”.

This webinar provides an overview and assessment of the latest round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) with a focus on countries’ 2035 climate targets. It begins with a global snapshot of NDC submissions, including how many countries have submitted NDCs 3.0, the share of global emissions they represent, and the political and institutional processes shaping these submissions. 

The webinar then examines the ambition of the new NDCs, comparing 2035 targets with existing 2030 commitments and assessing whether recent updates meaningfully contribute to closing the global emissions gap. Finally, it explores the evolution of policy projections over time, analysing progress in narrowing the implementation gap and evaluating whether current policies are putting countries on track to meet their stated climate targets.
