Climate Analytics is a global climate science and policy institute committed to driving action in line with the Paris Agreement’s 1.5 °C warming limit. It bridges rigorous climate research and policymaking to support vulnerable nations in both international negotiations and domestic planning through targeted analysis and support.
The organisation’s team of approximately 130 experts and support staff are headquartered in Berlin, with regional offices spanning Africa, Australia and the Pacific, the Caribbean, North America and South Asia.
Climate Analytics conducts policy-relevant research across several key areas, including climate impacts and risks, the energy transition, adaptation, loss and damage, decarbonisation pathways, climate finance, diplomacy and justice. It tracks government climate action and identifies policy options to accelerate progress towards Paris targets.
In the realm of sustainable finance, Climate Analytics provides technical analysis to bolster climate-vulnerable countries’ access to finance. This includes crafting transformational project concept notes and proposals for multilateral institutions such as the Green Climate Fund, as well as providing thought leadership on the quality, accessibility, balance and scale of climate finance.
A prominent example of its work is the Climate Action Tracker (CAT), an independent scientific tool produced jointly with NewClimate Institute. CAT assesses how national emission pledges and policies align with the 1.5 °C goal, covering countries responsible for a significant portion of global emissions.
Climate Analytics also delivers practical tools and resources, including interactive data platforms and analytic methods to determine decarbonisation requirements. Its outputs inform climate negotiations, national policy formulation and, in some cases, form evidence in climate litigation or adaptation planning.
Overall, Climate Analytics provides robust, science-based insights, tools and policy support to empower countries—especially those most at risk—to navigate climate challenges, secure finance and advance equitable, evidence-based action on a global scale.
