Sovereigns (ASCOR)
The ASCOR (Assessing Sovereign Climate-related Opportunities and Risks) tool evaluates how countries are managing climate change across three pillars: Emissions Pathways, Climate Policies and Climate Finance.

The boundaries and designations shown on this map are provided for reference only and do not represent an official judgment on the legal or political status of any territory.
For the ASCOR assessments, countries are grouped based on the World Bank income groups as follows: (i) high-income countries (‘high income’ according to the World Bank); (ii) middle-income countries (‘upper-middle income’); (iii) low-income countries (‘lower-middle income’ and ‘low income’).
Country emission pathwaysCountry emission pathways
Country emission pathways are assessed in several ways to account for a variety of factors and uncertainties. The emission metrics considered include the following options: production and consumption-based emissions; exclusion of LULUCF emissions and LULUCF emissions alone; and emissions on an absolute and intensity basis (per capita and per PPP-adjusted GDP).
Targeted future pathways are included only for absolute production-based emissions excluding LULUCF as this is the basis on which 2030 and 2035 targets are assessed.
Pathways end in 2030 or 2035 because long-term net zero targets are often stated on a different emission boundary from the ones considered in the 2030 and 2035 target assessments (e.g. including only CO₂ emissions rather than all Kyoto greenhouse gases).
Country emission trends are assessed in several ways to account for a variety of factors and uncertainties.
