National energy policies have had a profound effect on success in reducing CO2 emissions. Some countries have made substantial progress in meeting the goals they have agreed to. Very few are moving fast enough to limit global warming to 2 degrees C. This article will examine the results of these national policies.

Few countries are now on track.

National energy policies have had a profound effect on success in reducing CO2 emissions. Some countries have made substantial progress in meeting the goals they have agreed to. Very few are moving fast enough to limit global warming to 2 degrees C. This article will examine the results of these national policies.
