The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) provides recommendations to the British government regarding the North Sea's energy transition, advocating for a managed decline of oil and gas production aligned with 1.5°C goals.

The State of Climate Action 2023 report assesses global progress toward the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C temperature limit across sectors accounting for approximately 85% of global greenhouse gas emissions. It concludes that global efforts are failing across the board, with the vast majority of tracked indicators lagging behind the necessary pace and scale to avoid irreversible climate impacts.

This executive summary from the Climate Bonds Initiative outlines a comprehensive framework of 101 sustainable finance policies designed to align global capital flows with the 1.5°C warming limit. It argues that while the costs of climate action are high, the costs of inaction are higher, citing increased capital costs for vulnerable nations and credit downgrades for fossil-fuel-dependent sovereigns. The proposed framework is built on three pillars: providing clarity on green investments via taxonomies, tilting investment toward green opportunities through de-risking and carbon pricing, and building green investment pipelines for resilient development.

This briefing by RMI analyzes the tension between the steel industry's growth outlook and the demand reductions required to align with a 1.5°C climate outcome, highlighting the risks of delayed decarbonization and the opportunities for green hydrogen-based production.

This research paper by the NewClimate Institute argues that achieving the Paris Agreement goals and the 2030 Agenda requires a systemic transformation of global development, with a specific focus on providing incentives and frameworks for developing countries and emerging economies.

The NewClimate Institute identifies ten critical short-term sectoral benchmarks for the period 2020–2025 necessary to maintain a greenhouse gas emission pathway consistent with the 1.5°C temperature goal of the Paris Agreement.

The '2050 is Now' consortium issued a joint communiqué in October 2025 urging the global community and the COP30 presidency to prioritize Long-term Low Greenhouse Gas Emission Development Strategies (LT-LEDS). The document argues that LT-LEDS are essential for aligning short-term Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) with the 1.5°C goal of the Paris Agreement and for catalyzing the finance and policy action needed for a just transition to net-zero emissions.
