Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Database created by coalition of research organisations
Answer: A. Climate Action Tracker is a database created by a coalition of research organisations.
CLIMATE ACTION TRACKER (CAT) is an independent scientific analysis produced by two research organisations: CLIMATE ANALYTICS and the NEW CLIMATE INSTITUTE. They have tracked climate commitments and policies of around 40 countries (covering over 80% of global emissions) since 2009.
CAT assesses each country's policies and targets against the Paris Agreement temperature goals, rating them as 'Critically insufficient', 'Highly insufficient', 'Insufficient', 'Almost sufficient' or '1.5 C Paris Agreement compatible'. The aggregate '2.7 C by 2100' projection is widely cited at COP climate meetings.
Distractors fail:
(B) IPCC is the UN scientific body; CAT is independent.
(C) Not a UNFCCC committee; CAT is private research.
(D) Not UN-funded; CAT is funded by foundations and grants.
