Introduction
For Post 69 we asked our Country Managers to submit to the Head of their country’s COP 28 delegation a statement of goals to improve their country’s climate ambition. The goals are to specify what can be done to reduce country greenhouse gas emissions by 50% or more by 2030 and become carbon neutral by 2050. Specifically, we asked each Head of Delegation to announce at COP 28 in Doha: (1) what will their country do to strengthen its most recent Paris Agreement pledge and (2) to specify a date that their country will end its production of fossil fuels, especially coal.
Below is a Table Summary of the requests for Increased Ambition announcement that Climate Scorecard Country Managers sent to the Head of their country’s COP 28 delegation. Below are the complete emails that were sent to the Head of COP 28 Delegation for each country. A copy of this Global Report will be sent to the Head of UNFCCC and the Chair of COP 28.
