Yeah, the EU climate actions are insufficient, and the US climate actions are insufficient as well.

The sad news is that almost no country is on track, especially no larger country and large emitter. Even worse than in Europe, China’s climate actions are highly insufficient, Russian climate actions critically insufficient.

What makes things worse: China, India and Saudi Arabia rejected a COP30 dialogue on an upcoming UN review of climate plans, as a report says

Rich nations, least developed countries (LDCs), small island states, Latin American nations and the United Arab Emirates spoke in favour of a COP30 decision that acknowledges the progress and remaining gaps in nationally determined contributions (NDCs) and lays out a pathway for accelerating climate action in the years ahead.

But a group of high-income emerging countries – including China, Saudi Arabia and India – voiced strong opposition to that plan. They argued that discussions of those NDCs and the UN “synthesis report” assessing them are not on the summit’s agenda […]

Only a sixth of countries have presented their updated NDCs so far, including an emissions-cutting target for 2035, with those from many major economies including the European Union (EU), China and India still missing. A flurry of submissions is expected in the coming weeks ahead of an end-of-September deadline for their inclusion in the synthesis report.
