The State of Climate Action 2022 report, by the World Resources Institute, provides an assessment of the global gap in climate action across the world’s highest-emitting systems, highlighting where recent progress made in reducing GHG emissions, scaling up carbon removal, and increasing climate finance must accelerate over the next decade.

• Limiting global warming to 1.5°C requires transforming almost all systems, from how we power our economy and build our cities to how we feed a growing population and manage our land.

• These transformations are not occurring nearly fast enough. This report assesses progress across 40 indicators of systems change and finds that none are on track to reach their 2030 targets.

• Change is heading in the right direction at a promising but insufficient speed for 6 indicators, and in the right direction but well below the required pace for 21 indicators assessed in this report. Change in another 5 indicators is heading in the wrong direction entirely, and data are insufficient to evaluate the remaining 8 indicators assessed by this report.
