300 Companies Have Committed to Net Zero
4 Net-Zero Pathways compared
Because many supply chains are geographically dispersed, Scope 3 actions can have a favourable climate impact in countries where regulatory pressure is low
Carbon neutral demand is leading regulation
CCS approaches
Close to 1000 companies are setting science-based emission reduction targets. It’s time to provide guidance on net zero targets
Companies’ emissions reductions plans are more important than their Net Zero plans
Corporate net zero targets are inconsistent
Defining “net zero” for corporate purposes
E - Net Zero and Climate change
E - Net Zero Critiques
Full decarbonization requires very costly measures
In their Net Zero plans, companies should be disclosing:
Independent and cooperative net zero pathways to 2050
Investors can guide companies toward net zero
ISO 14000 family as a global standard
ISO 14001 and carbon neutral construction
More than half of the global economy is covered by net-zero commitments
Nature-based solutions can play key roles in net-zero strategies
Net zero targets should drive the transformation needed for global climate and sustainability goals
Net-Zero goals based on per capita income
Offsets can play two roles in net-zero strategies
Private funding for offsets is critical to achieving net zero by helping to close the $4.1 trillion financing gap by 2050
Progress on near-term and long-term commitments
Reducing emissions directly should always be preferred
Shell says CDR can substitute for reducing production and emissions
Some companies are planning a heavy reliance on CDR
Status of net zero targets and planning
Strategies focused on compliance should consider measurement standards accepted by the UN
Tackling supply-chain emissions offers companies the opportunity to multiply their climate impact several times over.
The challenge of net-zero accounting
The costs of deep decarbonization across supply chains are surprisingly low and result in an increase of only 1-4% on end-consumer prices
The IPCC’s definition of net zero
The topic of “net emissions” is complicated
Using radiative forcing as opposed to emissions for assessing net zero has advantages
Using radiative forcing has a significant impact on the dates by which “net zero” has to be reached
