About

Forecasting our collective ability to reach the 2030 reduction targets needs our devoted attention.

The 2030 Forecast is the world's first app allowing individuals to easily understand and track their own country’s carbon emissions — week by week. This means knowing whether or not their country is doing their share of the work to secure a safe and humanly livable planet for all. In 2015, 197 countries signed the Paris Agreement, stating that we need to cut our emissions in half by the year 2030. That’s now seven years away. For individuals in all countries, this horizon requires us to hold corporations accountable to emissions and governments accountable to investments in a national economy decoupled from fossil fuels. Having near real-time satellite data at our fingertips today empowers us with the intel necessary to demand responsibility for a net zero tomorrow. Think of it as a democratization of knowledge that already should belong to the many. Powered by satellite image analysis from Kayrros and environmental footprint calculations by Doconomy.

Challenge

The challenge is that the severity of our current climate crisis is tough to understand. So much so that many countries don’t even make the effort. Only 3.6% of countries globally are using satellites to track their own greenhouse gas emissions in near-real time, instead relying on outdated and inaccurate data. We’re on a mission to change that. The IPCC report published in March 2023 makes it unequivocally clear that we humans have caused and continue to cause global warming. Through unsustainable energy use, unsustainable land use, unsustainable lifestyles, and unsustainable consumption and production. We are destroying the planet we get to live on, and our own kind with it. Vulnerable communities who have historically contributed the least to current climate change are disproportionately affected, and the inverse is true for leading polluters in the Western World. The 2030 Forecast holds the capacity to single out which countries are meeting their 2030 reduction targets, and which ones aren’t.

How It Works

The 2030 Forecast indicates a country’s total carbon emissions every week across four categories: Domestic Industry, Domestic Aviation, Energy Consumption, and Ground Transport. It compares that country’s weekly carbon emissions against the same country’s 2030 reduction targets, and it shows whether or not that country has a carbon debt. That is, the discrepancy between where the country’s current emissions are and where its current emissions should be, to be on track towards reducing its emissions by 55% in 2030.

Partner With Us

Choose transparency. Protect our planet. The 2030 Forecast invites all companies and governments to get on board the mission of democratizing climate literacy. We are committed to allowing individuals across all countries — not just people in Sweden and France – to track their country’s emissions, week by week. If you want to sponsor the unlocking of your country, reach out to the 2030 Forecast team. Link in footer. We have the possibility to triangulate satellite imagery and environmental footprint calculations almost everywhere around the world, and with it, the possibility to show your country’s ability to meet its 2030 targets.

Method

The 2030 Forecast combines environmental footprint data from Doconomy with greenhouse gas emissions data based on satellite image analysis and additional data sources from Kayrros. Compared to officially reported data, this approach offers the benefit of an increased frequency in the availability of data updates – within days as opposed to months or years – and with a higher level of accuracy. We are building on the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report, released in March 2023.

Based on emissions generated between May 2021 and April 2022, we have set a 55% reduction target for the end of 2030. Yearly reduction targets are set linearly, and weekly targets are adjusted seasonally. We assume constant decreases from one year to another, but we distribute these across the year, depending on the specifics of each category. For example, power plant emissions strongly increase in the cold season while ground transport produces a higher footprint during the summer. To monitor continuous progress, we compare new data to the set targets on a weekly basis. We then compare new data to these targets on a weekly basis, to monitor progress. When weekly targets are missed, the excess emissions accumulate as a “carbon debt”. This debt increases the burden on achieving future targets. Conversely, when weekly emissions totals fall below weekly targets, this leads to a “carbon credit”, reducing the accrued carbon debt and decreasing the burden of achieving future targets. Our methodology is designed to make the most of available data and improve as more data points become available and is guided by the belief that everyone on this planet can make a contribution to shaping our climate future.

We analyze greenhouse gas emissions based on satellite images and other data sources provided by our partner, Kayrros. Compared to officially reported data, this approach offers the benefit of an increased frequency in the availability of data updates – within days as opposed to months. The number of greenhouse gas emissions tracking sources and locations, and the accessibility to current and reliable data, has to increase to generate the awareness needed, in order for governments and companies to prioritize required decarbonization strategies on a global scale. Aggressive decarbonization strategies will be essential to meeting the ambitious emissions reduction targets required, to reach net zero by 2050.
