Workshop on supplementary indicators towards climate targets

Building on recent work by DIW Berlin, Ecologic, and Client Earth, practices established by the UK Climate Change Committee, and global tracking such as the IEA Tracking Clean Energy Progress reports, and as part of the International Climate Initiative (IKI) project “Strengthen national climate policy implementation” (SNAPFI) we want to explore the idea of supplementary indicators to climate targets. How would they be formulated to be effective and attractive to support an inclusive and just transition to climate neutrality in different countries? Workshop participants discussed examples and experiences from jurisdictions around the world of various types of transition indicators from the climate and other policy domains, and explored how indicators can be formulated to be effective and attractive both as aids to domestic and international policy making and to public communications of goals and results.
