2025 DDP Report “A Decade of National Climate Action: Stocktake and the Road Ahead”
The Deep Decarbonization Pathways (DDP) network has recently released its annual network-level report for 2025 “A Decade of National Climate Action: Stocktake and the Road Ahead”. You can access the full report here and also a ppt presentation which provides a synthetic vision of the approach and main messages emerging from the report
This report considers the question : “What has been the real effect of the Paris Agreement on climate action, ten years after its signature?”.
The analysis builds on a detailed analysis of climate action at the national level from DDP experts across 21 countries, with many IAMC members, representing a diversity of geographies, levels of development, and sizes (Argentina, Brazil, Canada, China, Costa Rica, Côte d’Ivoire, Dominican Republic, France, EU, Germany, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa, Thailand, United States).
The analysis reveals that the Paris Agreement has had a real impact, changing the way countries think and act and spurring new approaches to climate governance and policy in countries. At the same time, the report also highlights shortcomings that explain why global trends are still off track and identifies priorities for future action to accelerate national transitions in the coming decade.
These lessons can guide national decisions and serve as a compass for international processes which can support stronger coordination mechanisms suited to help accelerate the needed transformations towards the long-term goals of the Paris Agreement.
